  • How To Install Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver On a 2020 Honda Civic
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C92UR is a great option and a confirmed fit for a 2020 Honda Civic. I know you said you were looking for an install video on a 2020 model, but we don't have one at this time. It will be displayed on the product page when available. That said, the installation video we do have on a 2019 model will be the exact same as a 2020 model so you can use this for help as well as the installation instructions which are both attached below. Please note, there...

  • Does the Furrion Refrigerator for RVs FCR43ACA-BL Use 110V AC or 12V DC Power
  • The Furrion Refrigerator for RVs part # FCR43ACA-BL is AC (120V) powered which is very different than DC (12V) power. This refrigerator would plug into a wall outlet like you might find in your home. It's completely independent of the 12V circuit.

  • Why Dont Hitch Install Bolts Require Loc Tite
  • If you torque the install hardware of the Curt hitch part # C92UR properly you would not need any Loc-Tite. The install hardware is torque-to-yield which means that the bolts act as their own thread lock as they stretch to keep themselves from backing out.

  • Does Muffler Need To Be Removed For Installation of Curt Trailer Hitch on 2005 Honda Civic
  • The installation of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # C11204, you referenced does not require the removal of the muffler. This install has 5 steps that I have listed here: 1)General fit: This hitch mounts to the car's central tow loop under the bumper and to existing holes in the left and right frame rails. 2) Hold the hitch in position at tow loop and the frame rails to identify the correct frame mounting holes. Fishwire 7/16" carriage bolts with CM-SP108 spacers into position...

  • Can a 2015 Honda Civic with a 5-Speed Manual Transmission be Flat Towed
  • From what I could find it looks like you can tow your 2015 Honda Civic behind your motorhome, but you'll need to use a tow dolly to do so. I recommend verifying this in your copy of the owner's manual or with your local Honda dealer. I recommend using the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly # DM9713045 for multiple reasons. This is basically the Cadillac of tow dollies because of the integrated disc brakes, foldable ramps and tongue (for storage), and steerable axle. The Kar Kaddy SS also comes...

  • Installation of Trailer Hitch for a 2015 Honda Civic EX-L
  • Your 2015 Honda Civic EX-L falls into the category of "excluding Si" models which the Curt # C11391 is designed to fit. It's important to know that with this trailer hitch you will need to use a stabilization strap # 18050 for any non-trailer load, bike rack or cargo carrier etc, per Curt's warranty. We are limited to the vehicle's our customer's bring to us to have installations done so we do not have an installation video or pictures of this hitch being installed on your specific model....

  • Can 2013 Honda Civic Trunk be Opened with a Trunk Mount Bike Rack Installed
  • You cannot open the trunk on any vehicle with any trunk mount bike rack installed. There are a few reasons for this. First, the extra weight of the rack could cause the trunk to fall unexpectedly which could result in damage or injury. Similarly the hinges on the trunk are not designed for the additional stress (though an unloaded rack doesn't add much weight). And last the geometry, the shape of the opening that the bike rack hooks fit into on a vehicle changes when you open the trunk....

  • Where Can a Trailer Hitch Be Installed for a 2003 Honda Civic
  • A lot of places can perform hitch installations. A trusted mechanic or a place like an RV dealer that has a service center. But you could also do it yourself. Installation is not all that difficult as you can see in the installation instructions that I have linked for you. You can see the tools needed and all the steps in the instructions. If you do not have access to a specific tool most auto parts stores have a tool loaning program. It also helps to have an assistant.

  • Will Warranty be Voided by Installing Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2016 Honda Civic
  • When you install an aftermarket part on your vehicle like a trailer hitch in this case, you are protected by the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act. This act states, in part, that unless the installation and the part caused a problem then the warranty cannot be voided. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11604 is confirmed to fit your 2016 Honda Civic sedan. I've linked an install video for you. If you're going to be towing a trailer you'll also need a ball mount, hitch ball, pin and clip, and...

  • Can the Trunk Be Opened With the Thule Archway Installed On a 2015 Honda Civic
  • The Thule Gateway Pro 2-Bike Rack part # TH88VR is a fit for a 2015 Honda Civic so that's great news. That said, you can't open the trunk with the rack installed or any trunk mount bike rack for that matter as the trunk struts are not rated to handle the extra weight of the rack and it could come loose and cause damage to either the rack or vehicle. If you find that you will need to get into the truck while carrying your bikes then your best option would be a hitch and hitch mounted bike...

  • Routing the Power Wire for a Trailer Wiring Harness on a 2013 Honda Civic
  • Routing the power wire to the vehicle battery can sometimes be the most difficult part of installing a powered wiring harness. While we have not had the chance to install a wiring harness on a 2013 Honda Civic, I may have some information that will help. Once you remove the rear threshold, or scuff plate, you may find a rubber grommet to the left of the spare tire on the inside wall that was covered by the rear threshold. To remove the rear threshold, you will want either a trim panel...

  • Installation Details for Curt Class I Hitch # C11204 on 2005 Honda Civic 4 door
  • You are correct, the spacer block and bolt will need to be fished through the frame. I have linked you to a video that explains this technique. If you need to lower the exhaust a bit in order to access the mounting holes, I have linked you to a video showing how this is done. Simply spray the rubber isolator and mounts with a spray lubricant like WD-40 and slide the mount out of the isolator. I have also linked you to the hitch installation instructions, as well as to an FAQ article...

  • Availability of Video Showing Use of Fish Wire for Hitch Installation
  • We certainly do have a video showing how to use a fish wire for hitch installation! If you will click on the provided link you will see an article on hitch installation tips. About midway through the article you will find a link to a video showing the process of using a fish wire. I've also included a second article that covers the process of cleaning out the weld nuts on the vehicle frame to make it easier to get the hitch installation hardware threaded.

  • How to Carry 2 Boards with the Thule SUP Carrier part # TH811XT
  • I attached a review video for the Thule SUP Shuttle Stand-Up Paddleboard Carrier with Tie-Downs # TH811XT that shows how to transport ONE SUP. To carry two boards the install will be very similar. I spoke to my contact at Thule to get their official instructions on adding a second board and they said you want to have the second board facing the same direction as the first one with it slid far enough forward that it doesn't interfere with the fins of the first board.

  • Tips for Routing a Trailer Wiring Harness Power Wire on a 2015 Honda Civic
  • The rear seats in your 2015 Honda Civic likely fold down so I would route the wiring harness power wire up behind the left rear seat then tuck it beneath any paneling/trim, under the threshold plate at the floor of the doorway, behind the trim of the B-pillar between the front and rear seats, under the front door threshold, behind the driver's side kick panel, and through the firewall into the engine compartment. To keep the wire hidden it will likely have to take a lot of twists and turns...

  • Install Procedure for EcoHitch 306-X7235 Hitch on 2013 Honda Civic
  • EcoHitch doesn't allow us to directly link their instructions, but I'd be happy to give you a synopsis of the procedure and send you a copy of the installation instructions in a separate email. You'll begin by removing the clips on the underside of the fascia that hold the center trim panel and removing the panel. You'll also remove the underbody panel if the vehicle is so equipped. Then, you will temporarily lower the exhaust as demonstrated in the linked video. You'll want to use a ratchet...

  • Evo Clamp Feet Placement for Thule Roof Rack Installation on a 2017 Honda Civic Sedan
  • You want the front legs to be 9" back from the front windshield on your 2017 Honda Civic Sedan and then the rear legs will be 29-1/2" further back from the front legs, but it will be easier to measure from the front edges of the front and rear crossbars as opposed to the fronts of the legs. These measurements are actually found in the fit kit instructions as opposed to the Evo Clamp Legs instructions (see first attached photo). You'll also reference the fit kit instructions for leg placement...
