- Roof Rack Compatibility with Thule Interstate Cargo Bag on 2000 Pontiac Grand Am
- On your 2000 Pontiac Grand Am 4 door the SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack for Naked Roofs SR1004 was a confirmed fit but has been discontinued by the manufacturer. It has a mandatory fit location with a crossbar spread of 23.5 inches. It cannot be moved from the mounting locations to fit the Thule Interstate Rooftop Cargo Bag # TH869 between the rails, but because the bag is flexible, you can load your cargo between and over the bars without issue. This combination will give you the stability...
view full answer... - Does the Kuat Pivot Swing Away Hitch Extender Need an Anti-Rattle Device
- I recommend the Kuat Pivot Swing Away Hitch Extender part # PVP20B. The Kuat Pivot Swing Away will allow you to attach a cargo carrier or bike rack to a 2" trailer hitch receiver tube opening and then pivot that accessory out 90 degrees to clear the rear doors on your van. The swing arm comes with a locking anti-rattle threaded hitch pin however, you would also need a locking hitch pin to secure your bike to the swing arm.

- Hitch adapters like the Brophy # HTAD are convenient for joining different sizes of hitch receiver and accessory, such as your 2-inch Thule bike rack in your 1-1/4-inch hitch. But the dark side of adapters is that they all cause you to lose 50-percent of your hitch's capacity. The loss of capacity results from the change in the geometry of the system - the adapter/extender allows much more leverage to be applied on the hitch tube.
Your car can accept only a light-duty Class I hitch rated...

- Best solution we have is a new cat back system part # MF16760 which is a confirmed fit for your 2007 Pontiac G6 with a 3.5 liter V6.
We don't have just resonators, but with this you'd get all new exhaust from behind the cats so you'd not have to worry about the rest of it failing.
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 2004 Pontiac Montana
- Actually, all you will need to do is install a wiring harness, # C55355, on your 2004 Pontiac Montana. But if you wanted to use those factory wires, because you have separate wires for turn signals and brake lights, you would first need to install a converter.
The converter, # RM-732, takes the separate signals and combines them which is what a trailer uses. To wire it up your yellow wire will go to the yellow wire on the converter, green will go to green, white will go to white, and red...

- If you look at some of the other pictures of Fender # PF11X35W-2 you will see that it has somewhat of a cut out on either side at the back but they are for the included mounting brackets. The same goes for the Fulton fenders but they do not come with mounting brackets.
Clearance lights can be surface mounted to the outside of the fenders. Rectangular lights measuring from 2-1/2 to 4 inches long seem to be the most popular for this application.

- If your 2006 Grand Prix has the 5.3L LS4 engine, MagnaFlow offers a # MF16726 Cat-Back exhaust system that will work great for you. The exhaust system will definitely give you a more aggressive sound when under throttle.

view full answer... - What is the Correct Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for a 2005 Pontiac Vibe
- The correct Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for a 2005 Pontiac Vibe is part # 55057, not part # C53KR which is for a Kia Forte as you mentioned. Therefore, if you wanted to get your money back then you would need to return the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C53KR and order part # 55057 instead.
view full answer... - Installing 7-Way Connector and Brake Controller on 2002 Pontiac Montana
- First of all, you will need to install a brake controller. I would recommend a proportional controller, such as the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 part # 90885. To install the controller, we offer a Brake Controller Install Kit, part # ETBC7. The kit includes everything necessary for installing your controller, including the 4 to 7-way adapter.
The adapter would plug into your existing 4-way plug, with four wires remaining. The blue wire would run to the passenger compartment, to carry the output...
view full answer... - Base Plate and Tow Bar Setup for Towing a 2003 Pontiac Vibe Behind a Motorhome
- I would recommend the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, item # 3113-1, for your 2003 Pontiac Vibe front wheel drive with manual transmission. Front wheel drive automatic transmission Vibes must be towed on a tow dolly and all wheel drive vibes must be towed on a trailer.
Along with the base plate kit I would recommend a towbar that installs in the receiver on your motorhome. The RoadMaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar - 6,000 lbs, item # RM-520 would be a good choice and along with this you will need...
view full answer... - Why Does the 2009 Pontiac Vibe Require a Modulite
- The Vibe requires a Modulite. A Modulite is a converter that draws 12-volts of current directly from the vehicle battery which is necessary for operating the trailer lighting. The electrical system alone, without help from the battery, cannot handle the increased amperage required to run the vehicle lights as well as the lights needed for the trailer.
This is the safest option because the extra amps to power the trailer are no longer going through the expensive electrical components of...
view full answer... - 2000 Pontiac Montana With Insufficient Voltage for Turn Signal/Brake Lights at Trailer Connector
- It sounds like you have the ground taken care of. Are you using a tail light converter? Part # C55355 is the converter offered for your vehicle. The factory does provide the port for the towing wiring, but a converter is still needed.
If you have a converter installed already, I would recommend testing the wires on the input side of the converter. You should have 12-volts entering and exiting the converter while each function is activated.

- According to my research, your 1998 Pontiac Trans Sport Van can be flat-towed with all four wheels down but you will need to use a lube pump on the transmission to do so which we currently do not offer. I recommend confirming this with your copy of the owner's manual as that will have the final say so.
In order to flat-tow this vehicle after you acquire the lube pump you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, wiring harness, supplemental braking system, and possibly a high...
view full answer... - Difference Between Trailer Hitches for 2004 Pontiac Vibe and Pontiac Vibe GT
- The only difference is that Curt has one trailer hitch that fits a 2004 Pontiac Vibe GT, part # C12221 and one trailer hitch for a 2004 Pontiac Vibe NON-GT, part # C12234 while the Draw-Tite # 24812 will fit both models.
The Draw-Tite hitch is a Class I hitch which requires the use of Class I accessories so my recommendation is to go with the option from Curt, with the right hitch depending on if you have a GT or not.
Both the Curt Trailer Hitch # C12221 (GT models) and # C12234 (non-GT...
view full answer... - Recommendation for a Hitch and Bike Rack for my 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GT to Haul 4 Bikes
- The Curt Class II 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C12225, would be a good option for your 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GT. This hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 350 pounds. Tongue weight capacity is the maximum amount of weight that can be safely suspended from a hitch and the use of a hitch adapter like # HTAD will reduce a vehicle's tongue weight capacity by 50 percent.
The only hitches that are available for the 2001 Grand Prix GT are Class II which has the 1-1/4 inch receiver.

view full answer... - Will the Stay-IN-Play Work On a 2004 Pontiac Vibe With Brake Booster Behind Firewall
- The Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System part # SM99251 is a great option for a 2004 Pontiac Vibe. It is not something we have installed on this exact vehicle but there are many instances which I have run into personally where the brake booster is directly behind the firewall where the brake pedal is. The standard practice we use when this is an issue is to drill a small pilot hole through the firewall then run a small wire though this to see how much room is there before...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Tow Small Trailer with 2007 Pontiac Vibe
- For lighter duty vehicles like your 2007 Pontiac Vibe there are only 1-1/4 inch hitches available as the 2 inch hitch size is for larger vehicles that need additional capacity. So best option we have is a hitch in this size like the Draw Tite part # 24812.
The recommended ball mount is then the # 3593 which has a rise of 2-1/8 inches. For a 2 inch ball you'd then need the part # 19258.
You'll also need trailer wiring to control the trailer lights which for that you'd want the Tekonsha...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2008 Pontiac Vibe for Transporting Bikes
- There are indeed a few trailer hitches available that are confirmed to fit your 2008 Pontiac Vibe. Since you do not have the GT model, I recommend going with the Curt Class II Round Tube Receiver Hitch # C12234. This Class II hitch is custom-fit for your vehicle and will use existing holes in the Vibe's frame for a no-drill installation. It will provide a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening and has a 200 pound tongue weight capacity. It features a sleek, round tube design and has a gloss black...
view full answer... - How Does Brake Output Circuit of Brake Controller Get Connected to a 2005 Pontiac Vibe with 7-Way
- Since your 2005 Pontiac Vibe would not have came from the factory with a 7-way the one you have would be an aftermarket one. To connect to the blue wire of the connector will require you to run a 10 gauge wire back from the blue wire of the controller to the blue wire of the 7-way which would be the pin in the 5:00 position of the connector.
I attached an install video that shows a brake controller and 7-way being installed in a similar 2003 Pontiac Vibe as yours for you to check out to...
view full answer... - Bike Adapter Bar Recommendation for Kids Bikes Carried on a Hanging Bike Rack
- Most likely yes, the Kuat Adapter bar part # UB01 will provide a horizontal attachment point for a hanging bike rack. A lot of kids bikes have small, odd shaped frames so an adapter bar like this will allow them to be used on a hanging bike rack.
For more info on how this adapter works check out the review video I attached.
