Expert Answers about Nissan Versa Note


  • 2017 Nissan Versa Note Roof Rack by Rhino Rack & Kayak Carrier
  • Hi, yes I have a great suggestion for what you are looking for, the Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Bar, part # RRVA118B-2. You will need the legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRRLKVA and the Fit Kit # DK382. For your kayak's, I suggest the Rhino-Rack 2 Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs; this is a J-Style folding design # S512-S512X with a weight capacity of 110 lbs. This arrangement will allow you to carry two kayaks with a combined weight of up to 110 lbs. providing all other factors of vehicle cargo...

  • Is Drillling Required to Install Curt C11378 Hitches on 2014 Nissan Versa Note
  • Yes, installation of the Curt Class I hitch # C11378 on the 2014 Nissan Versa Note will require some modifications to the car. It won't require any drilling but will require some facia trimming. This process is not really unusual for hitch installation, but some vehicles do have hitches made for them that require no drilling and no trimming. The Curt # C11378 is the only hitch available for your vehicle. I have attached the written instructions and an installation video for you to see...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2015 Nissan Versa Note SR with Spoiler
  • With the spoiler at the top of the rear hatch the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack # HRF2 or # HRF2-3 are the only racks I recommend for your 2015 Nissan Versa Note and Hollywood does list them as a fit for your vehicle. The top strap hooks you will likely need to work in from the corners of the gap between the hatch and the roof line.

  • Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2015 Nissan Versa Note
  • You can use a trunk mount bike rack with your 2015 Nissan Versa Note but since the vehicle has that spoiler-like trim piece at the top there is only one trunk mount bike rack that I recommend, the Yakima Fullback # Y02634. This rack was designed for vehicle like yours. A regular trunk mount rack will put stress on the spoiler. The Fullback rack is designed to prevent this, hopefully, your spoiler will not interfere. I have linked a video showing how it works. A hitch might actually be...

  • Saris SuperClamp 2 Bike Rack Clearance 2017 Nissan Versa Note
  • I think you will be just fine for clearance using the Saris SuperClamp EX 2 Bike Platform Rack # SA4025F with your 2017 Nissan Versa Note on typical road surfaces. The platform mounts to an upward angled arm providing the attached platform a lowest point approximately the same plane as your hitch. The only issue could be extreme road grade when changing from road surface to another, be conscience to your angle of approach on steep ramps, same as any other rack. When folded upright position,...

  • Will the Thule SideKick Cargo Box Fit On a Crossbar Spread of 29"
  • It means that the Thule Sidekick Roof Mounted Cargo Carrier Box # TH78GC won't mount to your roof because the crossbars will be too wide. Instead, if you're looking for a cargo box similar to the Thule SideKick that'll work with your bars, I'd recommend checking out the Inno Ridge Rooftop Cargo Box # INBRA220R-BK. This cargo box has a the same 8 cubic feet capacity as the Thule SideKick you were looking at, and will fit onto crossbars that have a minimum spread of 20" and a maximum of...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2014 Nissan Versa Note
  • I recommend the Curt hitch # C11378 as the towing capacity is 2,000 pounds and will have a maximum tongue weight of 200 pounds. It's corrosion resistant and the fully welded steel construction ensures great strength and durability. If you plan on doing any light duty towing, I recommend the ball mount # C45521 and a pin and clip # F-4, 2-inch hitch ball # 19258 or 1-7/8 hitch ball # 19256 and wiring by Tow Ready # 118582. I would double check your owner's manual to determine if your...

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2015 Nissan Versa Note SR
  • The Curt trailer hitch # C11378 is listed as a fit for all models of the 2015 Nissan Versa Note. But with this or any hitch for your Versa Note there is some fascia trimming required for installation. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you and a video of the install for you to see exactly what is entailed. Curt trailer hitch # C11256 will not fit your Versa Note because it only fits the regular Versa. The Versa and Versa Note are different models.

  • Thule TH480R Rapid Traverse Roof Rack Feet Compatibility With Old Type Square Crossbars
  • The Thule # TH480R foot pack isn't compatible with the square crossbars unless they're the newer style that have the slots in the underside. Unfortunately, Thule no longer offers feet that are compatible with the older-style square bars nor is there an adapter available so your best bet will be to replace your existing bars with the new models that have the slots. The bars are available in the following lengths: 43 Inch, part # TH712100 47 inch, part # TH712200 50 inch, part # TH712300 53...

  • Is the Brake Buddy Supplemental Braking System Compatible with Blue Ox Base Plates?
  • Yes. You will be able to use Blue Ox base plates like the # BX8869 and the Roadmaster Brake Buddy # HM39494 without compatibility issues on your 2015 Nissan Versa. For future reference, the only time you'll have issues with compatibility across flat towing components is when using tow bars and base plates that aren't from the same manufacturer; to combat this, base plate adapters are available. I've linked an article with our base plate adapter table that you might want to use if you ever...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2015 Nissan Versa Note
  • For your 2015 Nissan Versa Note there is only a Class I hitch available, the Curt # C11378. Hitches with 2 inch receivers are typically only seen on vehicles with higher towing capacities like trucks and SUVs. You wouldn't be able to use a wheelchair carrier with this hitch as they would weigh way too much. Using hitch adapters also cuts the capacity of the hitch by 50 percent as well. Using an adapter on your car would cause damage to the hitch, vehicle, and pose a safety hazard.

  • Comparing Curt and Tow Ready Trailer Wiring Harnesses for a 2014 Nissan Versa Note SL
  • Like you mentioned, the Curt trailer wiring harness # C56206 for the 2014 Nissan Versa Note does not require a direct connection to the vehicle battery whereas Tow Ready harness # 118582 does. At the back of the vehicle the installation of the harnesses will be the same. The only difference is that power wire on the Tow Ready harness. That power wire is what will power the trailer lights. With the Curt harness the trailer lights will be drawing on the vehicle tail light wiring. Modern...

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for a 2014 Nissan Verse Note
  • You are absolutely correct that for your 2014 Nissan Versa Note, you will need a roof rack and a kayak carrier. For your roof rack, I recommend the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars, part # TH711220. They're aero-style crossbars with T-slots, making them compatible with a wide variety of accessories while cutting down on wind-noise and drag. To mount the crossbars, you will need the Evo Clamp Feet, part # TH710501, and the Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp Roof Rack Feet, part # TH145168. As for...

  • Roof Rack For 2014 Nissan Versa Note For Carrying Kayak
  • I recommend using the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack # RR66QR. The easiest way to carry a kayak is a foam pad like this one # RRRWP04. This is easy to just lay up your kayak face down. You can use this tie down kit # e36ZR to secure it down. The two straps go under your crossbars and around your kayak. The Bow and stern tie down will go in the engine bay and in your trunk. I've included a video of me using them so check that out!

  • How to Carry 3 Bikes on a 2015 Nissan Versa Note
  • The Curt hitch part # C11378 that you have is the only hitch available to fit you Versa Note. It is a Class I hitch. On a class one hitch you can't ever carry more than 2 bikes at a time as it can cause damage, like you are experiencing. Your car is not built to be able to handle the extra leverage caused by adding that third bike. While the extra weight is a factor, the biggest factor is the fact that third bike is place farther away from the vehicle. That distance causes too much...

  • Which Base Plate Kit Will be Easier to Install for 2015 Nissan Versa Note
  • For your 2015 Nissan Versa Note both the Blue Ox base plate part # BX1852 and the Roadmaster part # RM-52357-4A are going to require very similar installs. Both require removal of an extensive portion of the front end of the vehicle. If it were me I would go with the Roadmaster as it seems the instructions are a bit more thorough and there isn't the same amount of fascia trimming as the Blue Ox. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting,...
