  • Does the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13126 Require a Stabilizer Strap for a Bike Rack
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13126, which is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Infiniti QX60, does not require the use of a stabilizer strap to keep in accordance with the warranty. However, if your Allen bike rack doesn't have an anti-rattle device built-in or included you may want to use a strap, like part # 18050, or a device like the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-061. Installation instructions ave been attached for you to reference on the Curt trailer hitch.

  • Will Draw-Tite Hitch Interfere With Hands-Free Sensor on 2017 Infiniti QX60?
  • You will still be able to use the hands-free lift gate sensor on your 2017 Infiniti QX60 with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame # 76031 installed. It won't be necessary to move it; simply perform a kicking motion and the lift gate feature will perform as usual. I have added a link to a video install of this hitch for you to take a look at.

  • Mounting Side Straps for Thule Gateway Trunk Mount Bike Carrier on a 2004 Infinity G35 Coupe
  • There isn't a specific place the side hooks have to go on the Thule Gateway trunk mount bike carrier # TH88JV. If they will stay in place lower or higher then it is acceptable to place them there. The side straps help prevent the rack from sliding left or right. If you can, tighten them both at the same time or go back and forth tightening one then the other until both are sufficiently tight.

  • Should there be a Gap Between Rubber Strip and End of Rola Roof Rack Crossbar
  • You do want the top rubber strip on the tops of the crossbars to cover the whole channel in Rola Sport Series Roof Rack with RBU Mounting System for Raised, Factory Side Rails - 47" Long Item # RBU47. There are a few things that can cause the strip to appear too short. It is possible that temperature changes, if extreme enough, could cause the strip to expand or contract. The shipping process can do all sorts of things to products so I imagine it is possible for the bars to rub on something...

  • Can Foot Activation for LiftGate on a 2017 Infiniti QX60 Still be Used With Hitch Receiver Installed
  • Although you won't be able to just wave your foot under the back of your 2017 Infiniti QX60 to activate the hands-free liftgate function, you will still be able to easily activate it by performing a kicking motion (like you are kicking a football) to the left or right side of the trailer hitch receiver. The trailer hitch receiver that I recommend for your QX60 is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76031 due to the higher weight capacities (900 lbs TW and 6,000 lbs GTW) that...

  • Trimming/Removing Bumper Cover to Install Curt Class I Receiver Part # C11068 on 2009 Infiniti G37
  • I spoke with one of my contacts at Curt Manufacturing, and was told that cutting the access slot behind the license plate would be sufficient. It is an either/or type of proposition. Some are not comfortable with the idea of cutting holes in the bumper cover even though those holes are concealed by the license plate, which is why the option of removing the bumper cover is available.

  • Is Wiring Harness Needed for 2014 Infiniti QX60?
  • You would need wiring harness # 119250KIT for your 2014 Infiniti QX60 only to power lights on an accessory that would go into your vehicle's trailer hitch. The hitch available for your '14 Infiniti only has a Class I hitch available, the Curt # C11510, and according to your owner's manual, this vehicle should not be used for towing so the wiring would only be needed if you were to use a cargo carrier, for example, that had lights that needed to be plugged in.

  • Can the Hopkins Agility Brake Controller # HM47294 Be Installed Upside-Down
  • According to the installation instructions, the Hopkins Agility Brake Controller you mentioned can only be mounted between + 70 and - 20 degrees of the direction of travel, as shown in the diagram I provided. Installing the controller in any other orientation will cause the accelerometer in the unit to malfunction, resulting in poor or no braking.

  • To convert the Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56074 to a European 7-way you need to first install this connector in your 2010 Infiniti FX50. After that, cut off its 4-way and you will need to use Converter # 118158; connect its green, yellow and white wires to the matching color wires on the Harness.

  • Will Installation of Trailer Wiring Harness on 2013 Infiniti JX35 Take a Long Time
  • The Curt Powered Tail Light Converter Kit with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56190KIT that fits your 2013 Infiniti JX35 will take a different amount of time for different people, depending on how comfortable they are with wiring, but it is safe to assume that you will need at least hour to install it.
