Recommended Cargo Carrier for 2014 Nissan Sentra
Question:
Before I place an order, please let me know how well the C18100 will fit onto my Nissan Sentra four door sedan. Are there details I should know? e.g. potential blockage of license plate, clearance between carrier and car bumper when carrier is in the folded position. Thanks

I am not certain what trailer hitch you have on your 2014 Nissan Sentra but the Curt Cargo Carrier # C18100 you referenced will only fit 2 inch trailer hitch receivers. This is an issue because the only hitches available for a '14 Sentra are Class I hitches with 1-1/4 inch receivers.
It is likely you actually have a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver like the Draw-Tite # 24907 and I strongly recommend making sure you know the exact hitch on your Sentra.
For a Class I hitch you must have accessories such as cargo carriers which are also Class I rated and for this I recommend the Curt # C18145 because of its raised side rails which give you many different tie-down points and includes an anti-rattle hitch bolt.
This carrier measures 7-1/4 inches from center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the carrier so I also recommend measuring the distance from the edge of your Sentra's bumper to the center of your trailer hitch's pin hole to ensure it is less than 7-1/4 inches which would allow you to use this carrier.
I have added links to video reviews of this cargo carrier for you to check out as well.
