  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2015 Hyundai Accent 5-Door Hatchback with Rear Spoiler
  • Because your 2015 Hyundai Accent hatchback has that spoiler at the top of the rear hatch I recommend only one type of trunk mount bike carrier; the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top racks # HRF2 for 2 bikes or # HRF2-3 for 3 bikes. These racks have additional upper arm pieces that move the top straps up and over that spoiler so no weight is put on it (since the spoiler is not meant to support weight). I have included a link to a video that shows how it works. If you will be carrying any bikes...

  • Parts to Flat Tow 2011 Hyundai Accent
  • The only base plates which are a fit for your 2011 Hyundai Accent are indeed the Blue Ox # BX2323, which will work with your automatic transmission so long as you do not have foglights. You will not need to unplug a fuse on your Accent to tow it, though there are a number of other parts you'll need. For a tow bar I recommend the Blue Ox Alpha # BX7380 which is compatible with the aforementioned Blue Ox base plates and even comes with safety chains. You are also going to need wiring to...

  • Troubleshooting Inconsistent Trailer Stop/Turn Lights with Curt Wiring on a 2013 Hyundai Accent
  • Thank you for all of the details about troubleshooting the Curt T-Connector # C56254 on your 2013 Hyundai Accent. Since you said the ground is secured to a clean, bare-metal surface and all of your other wiring looks to be in order it is very possible that the issue is actually on your trailer, but I recommend using a circuit tester # PTW2979 to see whether the power is getting to your 4-Way connector or not. If the tester works fine then the problem is on your trailer, but if it isn't...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Towing Accessories for 2013 Hyundai Accent
  • The Draw-Tite Class I hitch, part # 24884 and the Curt Class I, part # C11250 share the same weight bearing capacity and installation procedure. The overall design is similar, but as you mentioned, the Curt uses round tubing for the crossbar of the hitch while the Draw-Tite uses square tubing. As far as the tubing goes, some folks find the round tube to be more visually attractive, but as far as strength and function goes, neither has an advantage. Both companies are reputable and make...

  • Flat Towing Base Plate Fits for 2005 and 2006 Hyundai Accent Hatchback
  • The 2005 and 2006 model years of the Hyundai Accent do not accept the same base plate kits. The 2005s can use either Blue Ox # BX2316 or Roadmaster # 1616-1 while the 2006s that have a manual transmission and no fog lights can use the Blue Ox # BX2323 that you referenced or Roadmaster # 1623-1. Base plates are one of the components needed for safe and legal flat towing. The others are a tow bar, safety cables, a wiring/lighting solution and a supplementary braking system for the towed...

  • Procedure For Towing 2019 Hyundai Accent on Tow Dolly
  • When towing your 2019 Hyundai Accent using a tow dolly like the excellent Demco Kar Kaddy # DM9713046 the online version of the owner's manual says that the ignition switch should be in the ACC position, the shift lever in N (Neutral), and the parking brake should be released. It does go on to say that failure to place the shift lever in N (Neutral) with the front wheels on the ground can cause internal damage to the transmission. I do recommend verifying this information in your copy...

  • How to Tell If Surfboard Will Clear Antenna on 2013 Hunyadi Accent Hachback
  • Installing a roof rack on your 2013 Hyundai Accent Hatchback is actually pretty straightforward as the legs mount to specific points on your roof using some bolts. I recommend using the Rhino-Rack Vortex roof rack which uses the following parts: 46" Vortex Aero Crossbars - # RRVA118B-2 2500 Series Legs - # RRRLKVA Fit Kit - # DK289 The Inno Board Locker Surfboard Carrier # INA744 will fit this roof rack and give you a way to transport your surfboards but I did see that your antenna sits...

  • 2018 Hyundai Accent Bike Rack for Lectric XP E-Bike
  • I have a great solution for you, however most bike racks are not rated to hold up to 65-70 lbs. If possible, removing the battery on your e-bike during transport will make finding an appropriate bike rack a lot easier. If you can remove the battery, I recommend the Thule EasyFold # TH903202, which can hold up to two e-bikes with a weight capacity of 65 lbs per bike. This should meet the weight capacity of your e-bike with the battery removed. It also has a loading ramp to make loading...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2013 Hyundai Ascent with Manual Transmission Using Blue Ox Rangefinder II
  • In order to use a Blue Ox Rangefinder II towbar with your 2013 Hyundai Ascent you would need to use the Roadmaster EZ2 Base Plates # 521634-1 and the Blue Ox Rangefinder II or III Tow Bar to Roadmaster Base Plates Adapters # RM-037. There is not a Blue Ox base plate kit for your Ascent that is compatible with a Rangefinder II towbar. There are some other parts you'll need to flat tow your 2013 Ascent, and a complete flat towing system consists of base plates, tow bar, tow bar wiring,...

  • Can a 2014 Hyundai Accent Tow a Trailer?
  • The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # 24884 is a fit for your 2014 Hyundai Accent. You are correct that cars aren't really designed for heavy hauling, so you do need to stay within the capacities of your owner's manual and the products themselves. The 3 bolts you referenced are grade 5 and will secure the hitch at the rated capacities without issue. This hitch is rated for 200 lbs tongue weight and up to 2,000 lbs towing but the manufacturer...

This is a Class 1 hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. You will want to check your owner's manual or with your dealership to make sure you do not exceed the towing or tongue weight capacity for your Accent. You said you have the Curt Wiring, part # C56175. Per Curt, this wiring harness is not designed...

  • Dimensions of Rhino Rack Aero Crossbar Channels and Mounting Hardware
  • The dimensions of the top T-channel in Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars like # RRVA126B-2 measure 0.25 inches deep x 0.86 inches wide inside the channel. The top of the channel measures 0.43 inches wide. As for the hardware that installs in to the channel, those vary in size. What is important is just that they fit into the channel and can be tightened down. A good example of some mounting hardware is the Eye Bolt Kit for Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack # RR43178. The length is 2.36...

  • How to Pick out Tire Chains for a 2007 Hyundai Accent
  • First thing I will need in order to recommend you a set of chains is the size listed on the side of your tires. The size will most likely look like P175/40R14. You also will need to check your owners manual to determine if there are any restrictions on running chains on your vehicle. I attached a couple FAQ articles on tire chains for you to check out as well as a link to a page that will take you to a form where you can select your tire size and see what chains will fit your setup.

  • When is it Beneficial to Change Tire Load Range and Tire Size on Boat Trailer
  • Increasing trailer wheel/tire size is sometimes possible and can provide certain potential benefits, but a larger tire does not necessarily gain anything. If your concern is weight load capacity then you may simply need to change your tires only, to a higher Load Range rating in the same size, that can mount on your current wheels. The worst enemy of a trailer tire is heat. Heat arises from three main causes: overloading the tire beyond its weight capacity, incorrect inflation pressure...

  • Recommended Hatch-Mount Bike Rack for 2009 Hyundai Accent 3-Door Hatchback
  • You are correct that some vehicle features like spoilers can make it difficult to properly install a hatch mount rack that uses straps for attachment since these straps can apply pressure on such parts. Luckily the folks at Hollywood Racks developed specialized 2- and 3-bike carriers that will work fine with spoilers and other features such as your 3rd brake light. The Over-the-Top carriers, both the 2-bike # HRF2 and 3-bike # HRF2-3, feature a unique arched frame design that avoids putting...

  • Will SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack for Naked Roofs Fit a 2010 Hyundai Accent?
  • The SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack for Naked Roofs, # SR1002, will fit on a four-door 2010 Hyundai Accent. The rack will also be able to carry a 15-foot canoe as long as the watercraft weighs no more than 105 lbs, which is the rack's weight limit for your vehicle based on the manufacturer's fit guide, which I have included a link to. I also recommend the Thule Portage Canoe Carrier, # TH819, which comes with four cushioned brackets and the necessary tie-down straps to strongly secure...

  • Recommended Best Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for a 2014 Hyundai Accent 5 Door Hatchback
  • The Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack is a confirmed fit for your Hyundai, and at a great price. If cost is not a factor and you wanted more features, the best trunk mounted bike rack for your 2014 Hyundai Accent Hatchback in my opinion is the Thule OutWay, # TH45JV because it has an upgraded bike cradling system with road dampening and includes the locks to secure the bikes to the rack and the rack to the vehicle. This bike rack will also allow you to adjust the arms to accommodate the space needed...
