Expert Answers about Honda HR-V


  • Is It Normal for Exhaust Pipe to Rattle Against Hitch Installed on 2016 Honda HR-V
  • It's absolutely normal. The exhaust system attaches to your vehicle using rubber isloators which means that the position of your exhaust can vary, sometimes by a surprising amount from vehicle to vehicle. However, your Curt # C11416 hitch is solidly bolted to the vehicle so it's position on the vehicle is pretty much set in stone. The good news is that this can be easily fixed. Usually, it's just a matter of crawling under the car and bending one of the exhaust hangers just enough so...

  • Connecting Aftermarket Motorcycle Tail Light Bar to Existing Trailer Wiring
  • The Tekonsha # 118673 Wiring Harness connects your tow vehicle wiring to a 4-pole standard trailer wiring connector. Your trailer likely has custom wiring to each of it's lights. To connect this product you would need to have the wiring schematic for the MICTUNING tail light bar, and then splice into your existing trailer wiring to make your connections. You will also need to find out the amperage draw and ensure that it is compatible with the Tekonsha lighting module.

  • The clamps on the Custom DK Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs # DK454 for the Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for the Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRRLKVA & # RRVA118B-2 may loosen over time although this can be easily fixed by just re-tightening the Allen bolt inside the legs. There has not been any prominent reports of this happening, but if you're concerned about it you could just check the legs on your crossbars to see if they've loosened up every so often. Also, with your...

  • Availability of Go Power Solar Panel for RV that Has Go Power Solar Controller Installed
  • While we don't have a 20 watt panel with just the wires (part # 34273837 also includes the controller) we do have the 55 watt expansion kit part # 34280125 which would work really well with your setup. The panel has a higher wattage which just means the controller would have more wattage to work with when charging your batteries and wouldn't damage anything. The dimensions of the panel are 42-1/8" long x 11-5/16" wide x 1/8" deep.

  • Does Curt Trailer Hitch C11416 Require Underbody Panel Trimming on 2017 Honda HR-V AWD

This installation step is only needed on vehicles that have front wheel drive. Just note that the exhaust will need to be temporarily lowered during installation.

  • The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56284 for 2016-2018 Honda HR-V models only has a review video at this time and not an installation video. This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness which is located in your cargo area. You will have to remove all trunk floor coverings, storage trays, and the scuff panel to access these connection points. Once you've plugged in the T-connector, run the hot lead to your car battery....

  • Fit Dial Setting for Thule Gateway Bike Rack on 2021 Honda HR-V
  • The fit dial setting you'll want to use with the Thule Gateway Pro 2 Bike Rack part # TH88VR on a 2021 Honda HR-V is "10". There won't be any damage to the spoiler if installed properly, you will be limited to two bikes and 75 lbs but since you only have the two bike version this doesn't really apply.

  • Can the Thule Helium Aero 3 be Used to Carry 3 Bikes in a Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • The straight-forward answer is no, you should never carry 3 bikes in a Class I hitch. Any trailer hitch manufacturer will confirm this. Even though it would seem like using a lighter bike rack like the Thule Helium Aero 3 # TH9043PRO would keep the total weight down, it is more about the leverage than the weight. If you have a Class I trailer hitch receiver that has a 200 lb weight capacity and you max it out with 2 bikes or 3 bikes the 3 bike configuration will not be safe because the...

  • Installation Of Curt Trailer Wiring Harness On 2016 Honda HR-V
  • I am sorry the instructions were not in the package you received with the Curt wiring harness, part # C56284. I have linked the installation instructions you can check out.

Step 4 describes how to remove the trim panel at the back of your vehicle. I talked to one of our installers and they told me the panel...
