• Determining If Tires On 2008 Volvo C70 Will Work With Roadmaster Tow Dolly RM-2050-1
• As long as the low profile tires on your 2008 Volvo C70 are less than 30" tall and less than 11" wide then your vehicle will fit just fine on the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes - 4,250 lbs # RM-2050-1 perfectly.

• Parts Needed to Tow a Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer with a 2013 Volvo C70
• You can certainly tow the Yakima Rack n Roll trailer, # Y08106 with the new hitch on your 2013 Volvo C70. But, you will first need to consult the vehicle owners manual for the capacities of the vehicle. Then check the trailer hitch for a sticker that lists its capacities. Whichever is lower, the vehicle or the trailer, is the rating you need to go by. The Yakima trailer weighs about 100 pounds and has a 250 pound capacity so the gross trailer weight would be a mere 350 pounds loaded to...

• Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2013 Volvo C70
• First, the only trailer hitches that we have for the 2013 Volvo C70 will only fit the T5 convertible models. If it is another model then the hitch will not fit. Since you are only planning on using the hitch for a bike rack then you will not need a drawbar, also known as a ball mount or stinger. It is the part that goes into the receiver opening on the hitch that you attach a ball on to tow a trailer. Curt trailer hitch # C11065 is a Class I trailer hitch which means that you must use...

• Does Saris Bones Bike Rack Fit a 2010 Volvo C70 with the Top Up and Down
• The top straps on the Saris Bones bike rack # SA801BL are meant to attach to the front lip of the trunk lid on the 2010 Volvo C70. There has to be a gap for the hooks to attach to so as long as that is present with the top up and down on the vehicle then you can use the bike rack in either vehicle configuration. You will want to remove the rack prior to opening or closing the roof. The configuration of the rack should not be different with the top up or down.

• Will Hollywood Racks Express 3 Bike Trunk Mounted Rack Fit a 2004 Volvo C70 Convertible
• Hollywood Racks does not recommend any of their racks for your 2005 Volvo C70 Convertible. Instead, I would recommend the Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes # TH56BV.

It even works well with most spoilers. The OutWay is by far the easiest trunk mounted rack to use since it uses only 2...

• Will a CIPA Rear-View Mirror # CM32000 Fit a 2004 Volvo C70 Convertible
• This product is intended to fit wedge-style mirrors. You will need to determine if your 2004 Volvo C70 currently has a we10" Cipa Rearview mirror is a wedge style mount.

• How To Carry Kayak On Roof Of 2009 Volvo C70
• I do have an option for you but the Darby Extend-A-Truck Kayak Carrier w/ Hitch Mounted Load Extender and Single-Bar Roof Rack part # DTA944-968-924 is going to be too tall to use on your vehicle to transport the kayak level with the roof. The Volvo is about 4-1/2 feet tall and the Darby will be a foot taller then the vehicle once installed in the hitch. Also, the Darby needs to be installed in a 2" hitch and it looks like you have a 1-1/4" Class I hitch on the Volvo. Instead, the only...

• Can the Thule STL2 be Used as an Anti-Rattle Device for Hitch Extender HES6
• The Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device, # STL2, is designed to work with Thule bike racks specifically. This lock can be used to lock a Thule rack to the extender, but not the extender to the hitch, so it will not work. The Roadmaster Quiet Hitch, # RM-061 can be used on the connection between the hitch extender and the hitch receiver itself. Keep in mind that using a hitch extender will DECREASE the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 50 percent.

• How Would You Store The Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly # DM9713045
• If I was using the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly # DM9713045 I would get a tarp like The Erickson Tarp # EM57026 to cover it from the rain and I would use a long cable lock # e98891 to loop through the wheel and onto the frame to prevent anyone from stealing it. If you could wrap it Around something that is not going anywhere like your camper that would be ideal too.

• Compatibility of 3430001 Autowbrake Brake Controller with 2012 Volvo C70
• As long as the 7-way was installed correctly with a circuit breaker protected connection to the tow vehicle battery, the # 3430001 Autowbrake Brake Controller you mentioned will work just fine. A single axle trailer will only draw about 6 amps at full braking power, so there will be no problems at all as the power circuit through the 7-way is usually protected by a 30 amp breaker or fuse at a minimum. If you click the provided link you can see a product video featuing the Autowbrake # 3430001.
