Expert Answers about Chevrolet Aveo5


  • Roadmaster Tow Bar Recommendation for Flat Towing 2010 Chevy Aveo5
  • The Roadmaster Falcon 2 part # RM-520 is a very popular tow bar and most likely what you had. I'd recommend you go with the Falcon All Terrain # RM-522 instead though as this will be easier to connect/disconnect due to the non-binding arms that will release tension from binding.

  • Recommendation for a 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector Mounting Bracket for a 2011 Honda Pilot
  • After installing the T-One Connector w/Upgraded Circuit Protected ModuLite, # 118491, on your 2011 Honda Pilot, I recommend attaching No-Drill Mount Bracket, Short, # 18140, with Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat, # 18144. This will give you the clean, professional appearance you are looking for. If a longer bracket is needed, you can use No-Drill Mount Bracket, Long, # C57202, with Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat, # 18144. I have included a link a video install of the wiring harness for reference.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2008 Chevy Aveo LS 5 Door Hatchback
  • For a 2008 Chevy Aveo hatchback you would need to look at hitches for the Aveo5. None of the hitches for the sedan will fit, including # C11331, but there are 2 hitches that do fit: Curt # C11306 Draw-Tite # 24741 If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack, you are limited to 2 bikes maximum on a Class I hitch. If you go with the Curt...

  • Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack Recommendation for 2007 Chevy Aveo5
  • The hanging style of Thule OutWay part # TH45JV is a confirmed fit for your 2007 Chevy Aveo5, but the platform style is not. I don't like to recommend the hanging style OutWay, # TH65JV, the early versions of the rack were denting the bumper of the vehicles due to the way it carried the weight of the bikes so I have been reluctant to recommend it for vehicles where it's even listed as a fit. The # TH45JV is an excellent bike rack that will work well for you. If you plan on carrying any...

  • Is the Tow Hook Removed for Curt Trailer Hitch # 11306 Installation on a 2009 Chevy Aveo5
  • To install Curt Trailer hitch, # 11306, on a 2009 Chevy Aveo5, you will not need to remove the tow hook that is permanently attached to the vehicle. The hitch needs the tow hook as one of the mounting points. You will place a carriage bolt and rectangular spacer through the top of the tow hook loop and secure it with the nut. In the instructions, linked for reference, there is a picture that shows the tow hook detached from the vehicle, but this is just for clarity. The tow hook is not...

  • How to Use a Karrite Cargo Box on a 2009 Chevrolet Aveo5
  • I do have an option for you to use your Karrite Cargo Box but it does not entail placing the cargo box directly on the roof. Since Karrite has been discontinued, the straps needed to hold them onto a roof are no longer available which means the only option is to place it onto a set of crossbars like the SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack part # SR1002 which is a fit for your 2009 Chevrolet Aveo5. In order to secure the cargo box you would then need to install the Replacement Mounting Hardware...

  • Troubleshooting Turn Signals and Brake Lights Not Working With Curt Wiring Harness on 2009 Aveo5
  • With the installation of a new Curt wiring harness I doubt there are any issues with the converter, and it should have more than enough power unless you have an unusual number of lights on your trailer. I would check out the ground connection, which is likely the issue. I'm guessing you used the same ground connection when you installed the new wiring harness. Make sure it is secure on a clean, bare-metal surface. It might be best to go ahead and relocate the ground just to be sure. If...

  • Roof Rack and J-Style Kayak Carrier Recommendation for a Chevy Aveo Hatchback
  • The SportRack Roof Rack for Naked Roofs part # SR1002, which you reference, is a confirmed fit for your 2007 Chevy Aveo5. This semi-custom fit is adjustable with crossbars that are 50" long. As long as your naked roof measures 50" or less side to side this rack will work for you. You will want to measure from the door jamb to door jamb. I have attached a link to the installation details for you to check out. A smaller roof may mean a more expensive basic roof rack kit because smaller roofs...

  • According to the instructions for the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 24741, you will not have to remove the bumper cover, cut it, or drill any exposed part of the vehicle.
