Expert Answers about Pontiac Vibe


  • Will Curt Hitch # C12221 for 2009 Pontiac Vibe Work with MagnaFlow Cat-Back Exhaust # MF16849
  • Curt and other makers of hitch receivers determine how their products fit to any vehicle based on the vehicle being in stock condition. They cannot test their hitches with all possible aftermarket products and so Curt cannot offer absolute certainty of the compatibility of their hitch # C12221 with your MagnaFlow exhaust # MF16849. However, my technical contact at Curt did offer that if your aftermarket cat-back exhaust uses only the OEM exhaust hangers and mounting points, if the pipe...

  • Will the Thule Outbound Cargo Bag Fit a 2005 Pontiac Vibe
  • Having the cargo bag, # TH868, between the rails would be ideal, but it can also sit on top of the bars. If you can place it between the bars, make sure the bottom of the bag and the roof are clean to avoid scratching the paint.

  • Will the Pro Series RB3 Weight Distribution System part # PS49582 fit a 3x2 Trailer Frame
  • If the width of your trailer frame is 2 inches and the height is 3 inches the Pro Series RB3 Weight Distribution System part # PS49582 would work well for you since it can fit 2 inch wide frames. If your frame is wider than 2 inches you could get the Reese Chain Hanger Brackets part # RP58305. I attached an FAQ on weight distribution systems for you to check out.

  • 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.

  • What Trailer Hitch And Hanging Bike Rack Will Work On a 2009 Pontiac Vibe
  • You will want to check your owners manual or with the car dealer on the towing weight capacity of your 2009 Pontiac Vibe. The tongue weight capacity will be 10 percent of the towing weight capacity. I recommend the Draw-Tite 1-1/4 Inch Class I Hitch, # 24812. This hitch is a simple bolt-on application. Even though the hitch has a 200 lbs. tongue weight capacity you will be limited to the lowest tongue weight capacity in your towing system, either the vehicle or the hitch. I am sending...

  • Will the Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 Fit the Factory Crossbars on my 2004 Pontiac Vibe
  • I do have an option that will work for you, however, Yakima does not have a cargo box that will fit the factory roof rack on your 2004 Pontiac Vibe. Instead, I recommend looking at the Thule Pulse Cargo Box, # TH614. This cargo box is similar in size to the Yakima RocketBox Pro 14, # Y07192, that you referenced and it will fit on the factory crossbars. According to Thule, this cargo box may hinder your ability to completely open the rear hatch when it is installed. If you would like...

  • 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...

  • My Draw Bar Will Not Fit All the Way Inside My Draw-Tite Hitch 24812 on my Pontiac Vibe
  • The stop inside the hitch is not to force customers to purchase certain brand products, but to ensure that a Class II draw bar is not inserted into a Class I hitch. The Draw-Tite hitch you have, part # 24812, is a Class I hitch so if the welded stop inside is preventing the draw bar from going all the way in, you have a Class II drawbar. The recommended draw bar for this particular hitch is part # 3593. This draw bar will fit your hitch and will be at the proper height for trailers that...

  • The SportRack Vista cargo box # SR7018 will fit on crossbars that are no wider than 4 inches and on a center to center crossbar spread of 23-5/8 inches to 34 inches. You will need to measure your crossbars to determine if it will fit based on the measurements I have provided here. Depending on where the antenna is placed on the roof and how high it sticks up, it may or may not be in the way. The box is 63 inches long and based on images I have seen of the vehicle the antenna is at the...

  • Will Rightline Cargo Hatch Saddlebag # RL100B90 Fit 2007 Pontiac Vibe
  • As long as your 2007 Pontiac Vibe has at least 40 inches of space between the taillights, the Rightline Cargo Hatch Saddlebag, # RL100B90, will work great for you. If your Vibe has a bare roof, you will also need the Car Clips, # RL100605, in order to hook the top two straps of the saddlebag carrier over your hatch door. For vehicles equipped with factory side rails or a roof rack, no additional equipment is needed. I have attached a short video for you. Best wishes on the move!!

  • Roof Rack Option for 2010 Pontiac Vibe
  • So it sounds like you are looking for a roof rack for your 2010 Pontiac Vibe where part of it is attached to the fixed mounting points and the other is a clip-on option. While we do have a nice rack option, there isn't a good option for that because of the types of roof racks available for this vehicle. The best available rack option is a from Inno and it uses bars that go past the rack's feet, and uses a fit kit to clamp on, which is made up of the following parts: - Inno Aero Crossbars...

  • Will the Inno Feet for Square Crossbars Fit My 2009 Pontiac Vibe?
  • I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, the Inno Feet for Square Crossbars # INXP will not fit your naked roof with fixed mounting points on your 2009 Pontiac Vibe. Although, I did confirm with Rhino-Rack that they do have crossbars that are compatible with your vehicle's rails. For the Rhino-Rack setup, you will need: - Inno Square Crossbars - Steel - Black - 42" Long - Qty 2 # INB107 - Inno Feet for Square Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Black - Qty 4 # INSUT - Custom Fit Kit for Inno XS200,...

  • Can 2005 Pontiac Vibe Be Flat Towed Behind Motorhome
  • I checked the online owner's manual for the 2005 Pontiac Vibe on the GM website and it shows that the front-wheel-drive with manual transaxle CAN be flat towed without need for a transmission lube pump and it can also be towed using a dolly like # RM-2050-1. However, the all-wheel-drive version cannot be flat towed, nor can it be towed with two wheels up on a tow dolly. The basic parts of a flat towing setup include the tow bar, lighting kit and braking system you mentioned, as well as...

  • What Draw Bar Fits Draw-Tite Class I Hitch Part # 24812
  • The Draw-Tite Class I hitch you were looking at, part # 24812 uses a 1-1/4 inch receiver. A class I hitch usually has a stop welded into the receiver tube or a detent punched into it to prevent a class II accessory from being used. If the draw bars you have were intended to be used in a class I hitch, they will work. Keep in mind, Draw-Tite recommends only using the part # 3593 draw bar. If the draw bars that you have measure any longer than 1-1/2 inches from the center of the pin hole...

The rack itself will weigh 45lbs giving you 109lbs total for the bike and carrier weight. This would allow for you to carry a second bike if needed.
