  • Will The Rightline Gear Rooftop Cargo Bag RL100S20 Fit A 2011 Chevy HHR?
  • The Rightline Gear Sport 2 Rooftop Cargo Bag # RL100S20 will attach to a cargo basket, raised side rails, roof rack, or a bare roof, so it is very versatile. However, if your 2011 Chevy HHR does not have raised rails, either factory or aftermarket, and it is a 2 door/Panel style, this will not work. This is due to it needing to have all 4 rubber-coated car clips/straps attached to make sure it is secure on the roof. If you have the 4 door version and/or the raised rails, then you are perfectly...

  • Thule Passage Trunk Mounted Bike Rack # TH910XT for 2011 Chevy HHR
  • According to our friends at Thule, their Passage trunk mounted bike rack, part # TH910XT is indeed a fit for your 2011 HHR. For womens bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # TH982XT is recommended. The adapter spans the distance between the seat post and the handle bar gooseneck, and provides a level attachment point to the bike rack so the bike has greater ground clearance and is not carried at an angle.

  • Recommended Base Plate Kit for a 2009 Chevy HHR that is Compatible with a Commander 2 Tow Bar
  • The most affordable base plate for your 2009 Chevy HHR, that is compatible with a Commander 2 Tow Bar, is going to be the Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit item # DM9519196. This tabless design gives you a factory look when you are not flat towing. This will not fit the SS model.

  • Tow Bar To Store On 2008 HHR That Is Compatible With Blue Ox Base Plates
  • I could not find your invoice based on your email to confirm, but you most likely have the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX1692 with a distance between brackets of 22 inches.

  • Increasing Performance on 2010 Chevy HHR SS
  • The Superchips Flashpaq F5 Performance Tuner - California Approved - Gas/Diesel # SU4845 was only a fit for model years up to 2009.

  • Will The Blue Ox Acclaim Work A Blue Ox Baseplate On A 201 Chevy HHR
  • The only compatible Blue Ox baseplate for a 2011 Chevy HHR is the # BX1692, which has a bracket spacing of 22". The Blue Ox Acclaim Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX4330 requires a spacing of 23" - 30" so it will not be compatible with the baseplate. The next closest option in price and functionality is the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # e47ZR. This tow bar is a bit more than the # BX4330, but comes with quite a bit more features to make up for the higher price point....

  • How Does Backup Light of Fusion LED Trailer Tail Light Work
  • In order to utilize the backup light function of the Fusion LED Trailer Tail Light # STL211RB you will need to plug in a 2-Wire Pigtail, either part # A45CB or # A49PB for a right angle pigtail. You can see from the accompanying photo of the rear of this light that it has connections for both a 2-wire and 3-wire plug. This would need to be used along with the 3-Wire Pigtail # A45PB or # A47PB (right angle) which gives the light its tail light functions. I looked up your order from the...

  • Parts Needed To Use Roadmaster Sterling Tow Bar To Flat Tow 2007 Chevy HHR
  • I can help you get the parts you need to flat tow the 2007 Chevy HHR with the Roadmaster Sterling All Terrain tow bar part # RM-576. I recommend the Roadmaster Base Plate kit part # 3141-1 to fit the Sterling Tow Bar. For the wiring I recommend Hopkins part # HM56100. It wires the towed vehicle to accept the RV's tail, brake and turn signals when flat towing without splicing into your vehicle's wiring. According to Roadmaster there are fuses that need to be pulled in the HHR when you...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2009 Chevy HHR Behind a Motor Home
  • This has actually come up before and Roadmaster explained that they have not tested their base plates with the EAZ Lift tow bars so I cannot say if they will fit or not. You would need to contact EAZ Lift to determine if they have tested it with Roadmaster or Blue Ox base plates. What I recommend is using the Roadmaster base plates, # 3141-1, and using a tow bar that you know is compatible like the Falcon 2, # RM-520. You will also need safety cables like # RM-643. Next you will need...

  • Does Hopkins Custom Fit Tow Bar Lighting Kit fit 2011 Chevy HHR
  • That kit was not carried over to the 2011 HHR models but does fit the older ones like you noted. We don't have any custom fit options for the 2011 models but the Roadmaster diode kit part # RM-15247 would be an excellent option. It splices into the taillight wiring of the vehicle to allow the tow vehicle the ability to control HHR's taillights.

  • Recommended Flat Towing Equipment For A 2011 Chevy HHR

I have the following recommendations for you: Tow Bar: Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-522. This tow bar features non-binding latches and a large hookup radius to make connecting and disconnecting your HHR on any terrain easy peasy.

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2009 Chevy HHR SS to Use with Kuat Transfer Bike Rack
  • I checked with Curt and trailer hitch # C11447 will fit your 2009 Chevy HHR SS model! You mentioned that you want to use the hitch for a bike rack. If you choose the Curt hitch then Curt also says you have to use stabilization strap # 18050 when using this hitch for any non-trailer load (such as a bike rack or cargo carrier) per their warranty requirements. If you don't want to have to use the strap then I recommend the Draw-Tite hitch, # 24756, because it does not require the use of the...

  • Does the Stabilizer Strap for a Curt Hitch on a 2011 HHR Need to be Used for a Single-Bike Bike Rack
  • If you are wanting to install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11447 on your 2011 Chevrolet HHR then a stabilizer strap like part # 18050 would need to be used according to Curt's warranty. The warranty simply says any non-trailer load so even a single bike rack would fall under that. With that being said, where you attach the strap doesn't matter at all. You could actually just loop it over the crossbeam of the RockyMounts HighNoon FC Solo Bike Rack # RKY87RR and then back to your vehicle...

  • Fit of Thule Self-Tensioning Snow Chains # TH00023095 on a 2008 Chevy HHR w/ Size 215/55-16 Tires
  • According to Thule, the maximum recommended top speed when using the Self-Tensioning Low Profile Snow Chains is 50 KPH, or about 30 mph. The chains will fit the tires on your HHR. I found an online copy of the owners manual for the 2008 HHR, and saw that Chevy does not recommend using tire chains, so I would recommend consulting your Chevy dealer for a clarification. I have linked you to an article about tire chains that you might find helpful.
