  • Recommended Hollywood Racks 3-Bike Trunk-Mount Rack for 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt Coupe with Spoiler
  • The Hollywood Racks Express 3 Bike Carrier # HRE3 is not an ideal choice for your 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt Coupe with trunk-mounted spoiler. A better 3-bike rack choice from the folks at Sarris Bones EX 3 Bike Carrier # SA803 which is designed to work with your spoiler. The linked video shows this rack in use. If you'd like to add a cable lock to secure your bikes you can use part # e98891.

  • Will the Thule Speedway 2 Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2007 Chevy Cobalt with a Rear Spoiler
  • I spoke with my contact at Thule. She stated that if your 2007 Chevy Cobalt has a floating spoiler (not fully connected to the vehicle and has a gap between the spoiler and the trunk), or an aftermarket spoiler, the Thule Speedway 2, # TH961XTR, will not fit. There is another option. You could install a trailer hitch and then a hitch mount bike rack. There are quite a few hitches available depending on the model Cobalt you have. I have included a link to the options below. You could then...

  • Compatibility of 2-Inch Cargo Carrier with 1-1/4-Inch Class I Trailer Hitch on 2010 Chevy Cobalt
  • Thank you for your hitch purchase from etrailer. Your 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt is equipped with 1-1/4-inch light-duty Class I hitch # C11430 and this has a 200-lb tongue weight (TW) capacity. You do not want to use an adapter for a 2-inch cargo carrier because that adapter will cut your hitch's capacity by 50-percent, which is 100-lbs. This means that if you used an adapter like # HTAD your combined cargo weight plus the weight of your cargo carrier itself could not exceed 100-lbs total....

  • Will a Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2005 Chevy Cobalt SS with Rear Spoiler
  • The large spoiler on your 2005 Chevy Cobalt will prohibit the use of a trunk mount bike rack so you will need to use a trailer hitch and hitch mount bike rack. This is actually the most stable way to carry bikes on a vehicle and it keeps the bikes off of the trunk so it will not get damaged. You can use hitch # 24756. It fits the SS sedan and Coupe including Supercharged models. I have included links to the instructions and a video showing a typical installation. For a compatible bike...

  • Will Kuat Bike Rack B202-114 Fit on a 2007 Chevy Cobalt SS Coupe
  • The clearance for bike rack # B202-114 is going to be 7-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the upright bar on the bike rack. To determine if this rack would have enough clearance to fit on your 2007 Chevy Cobalt, I recommend measuring from your hitch pin hole to a point past your bumper and any other items that might interfere with the bike rack installation. If this measurement is less than 7-1/2 inches, the Kuat bike rack would work well for your application. If...

  • What Is The Maximum Towing Capacity For A 2009 Chevy Cobalt And Will The Curt Hitch, # 11430, Fit
  • I checked the maximum towing capacity for your 2009 Chevy Cobalt and it was 1,000 lbs. You might want to check your owners manual or with the Chevy dealer to verify that 1,000 lbs. is the correct maximum towing capacity of your 2009 Chevy Cobalt. The Curt Class I Trailer Hitch, # 11430, will fit on your 2009 Chevy Cobalt, as long as it is not a SS model. This hitch has a 2,000 lbs. towing weight capacity and a 200 lbs. tongue weight capacity. It is a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. The ball...

  • What Thule Trunk Mount Bike Racks Fit a 2009 Chevy Cobalt 4 Door
  • According to our contacts at Thule, there are two 2-bike trunk mount racks that will fit your 2009 Chevy Cobalt 4 Door. They are the Thule Passage # TH910XT you referenced and the Thule OutWay. As long as the wing on the trunk is a factory item, according to Thule, the rack will fit. If it is a dealer installed or aftermarket item, fit cannot be guaranteed. Both feature 2 rubber coated straps to secure your bikes during transportation. I have provided links to instructions for the proper...

  • Will Curt Hitch for 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt Fit with Aftermarket Exhaust
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11430 is only confirmed for a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt with factory exhaust. If you have an aftermarket exhaust there is no way for us to confirm fit so you'll need to be aware that modifications may be need. Unfortunately, trailer hitch manufacturers don't design/test with aftermarket exhaust as there are too many variances from manufacturer to manufacturer.

  • Can the Dual Angle Ski and Snowboard Carrier INTX726 be Used on a 2006 Chevy Cobalt
  • To install the Inno Dual Angle Ski and Snowboard Carrier # INTX726 on any vehicle you would just need the fit kit that Inno created as a fit for the vehicle (as you stated). Unfortunately Inno doesn't have a roof rack fit for your 2006 Chevy Cobalt but I do have a different recommendation for you to transport your skis and snowboards. For your application I recommend going with the Rhino-Rack roof rack that uses the 46" Crossbars # RRVA118B-2. To complete this system you also need the...

  • Roof Rack Fit for 2010 Chevy Cobalt
  • We do offer a roof rack kit that's compatible with your 2010 Chevy Cobalt but the SportRack SR1002 you mentioned isn't a fit. I'd recommend the Aero Bar Roof Rack from Rhino Rack, that consists of the following parts: # RRVA118B-2 # RRRLKVA # DK182 for a 2-door model or # DK181 for a 4-door This is the most reasonably priced for quality roof rack option we offer for your vehicle. If you click the provided link, you can see the rack being installed on a 2009 Cobalt. The install for your...

  • Compatibility of Rhino Rack Cross Bars with Thule Kayak Carrier
  • The part # you referenced, # DK182 is the vehicle specific portion of the roof rack system that actually attaches the rack to the vehicle. This is the correct part for your Pontiac G5. I do not have any information regarding the fit of Thule products on a Rhino Rack system as the individual companies do not typically test the compatibility with competitor products. They would prefer you buy their accessories for their roof rack systems. That being said, I can give you the dimensions of...

  • Confirmed Hitch Fits for 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt Standard Sedan
  • The three 1-1/4-inch Class I hitches offered for your 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt sedan (the non-SS version) are shown on the linked page. Hitch # 24756 does not fit your vehicle. This fits only 2010 SS Coupe and SS Sedan models. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11430. These two hitches use different mounting points on the two vehicles and so they are not interchangeable.

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack for 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt With Factory Spoiler
  • The Hollywood Racks Express 3 Bike Rack # HRE3 will not work with the spoilers on you 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, I do have a solution for you. The Thule OutWay # TH56BV is designed to accommodate spoilers, so it will work great with your factory spoiler. The anti-sway cradles on the rack will prevent bike-to-bike and bike-to-vehicle contact. The OutWay attaches with only 2 straps compared to the 4-6 of other racks. This makes it the absolute easiest to use. It also has integrated...
