  • Best 2-Bike Trunk-Mount Rack for a 2010 Volvo C70 Coupe
  • The best 2-bike trunk-mount rack fit for your 2010 Volvo C70 Coupe comes from Saris, their Bones 2 carriers, available in black as part # SA805BL. Please see the linked review video for illustration of the rack's features. If you want to add a lock for your bikes you can use Saris kit # SA981. If you'll be transporting bikes without a top frame tube (as is found on a typical man's bike) then you'll need an adapter bar like # UB01 for such bikes to keep then level on the rack for good...

  • 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...

  • 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. This trunk rack is perfect for carrying 3 bikes on your convertible. It attaches easily with 2 rubber-coated straps that let you raise your trunk or hatch without removing it from your Volvo XC70. 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 Swagman Trailhead Bike Rack Work on Car With Trailer Hitch Recessed Under Bumper
  • There will absolutely be enough room for you to use the Swagman Trailhead 2 Bike Rack # S63360 on your 2012 Volvo C70. You are correct that the linked install video of the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11065 on a '12 Volvo C70 shows the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the bumper being 9 inches, which is enough because the back of the upright bar on the Swagman Trailhead is actually going to be the part closest to your vehicle. That means there is 11 inches from the hitch pin...

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Can a Trailer Hitch be Made to Fit a 2008 Volvo C70
  • There are no trailer hitches available for the 2008 Volvo C70. It might be possible for a professional welder or fabricator to make a hitch to your specifications using some of the hitch fabrication parts we have, linked to the right. It sounds like you want to tow with the vehicle. Check the owners manual to see if towing is permitted. If you want the hitch for something like a bike rack or cargo carrier then there might be other options such as a trunk mount bike rack or roof rack.

  • 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. If your vehicle does not have a wedge style mount for the rearview mirror it is possible that you have a camlock style mounting mirror, and this is the type that is typically found on imported vehicles. I have included a photo that shows the difference between the two mounting styles for rearview mirrors for your reference....

  • Availability of Bike Rack System To Fit a 2012 Volvo C70 Convertible
  • If you have a factory hitch on your 2012 Volvo C70 Convertible you will need to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole on the hitch to the edge of the rear bumper. This measurement will help you determine the amount of clearance you will need to install a hitch bike rack. One of the hitch bike racks I have with the longest distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the bike rack is the Swagman Trailhead 2 Bike Rack, part # S63360. The # S63360 bike rack...

  • 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.
