To mount the rack you will place the top clips in the gap at the front edge of the top of the hatch and place the lower clips in the bottom edge of the hatch. The lower arm of the rack will rest in the bottom of the license plate well.
When the rack is installed, you will not be able to use a rear wiper.

- Different crossbar lengths for vehicles like your 2011 Honda Insight are available to give people more options. Some prefer longer bars to try and fit as much as they can on the roof and some prefer shorter for sleeker look or to minimize wind noise. Now there are two basic styles of Inno racks for your vehicle. The flush bars that are shorter (42 inch) which the bars do not extend past the feet of the rack and through bars that have the bars that extend past the feet.
The flush bar option...

- I went through each of the available bike racks trying to find a solution for you that would meet your requirement of not spending too much money, but the issue is the combination of the Class I, 1-1/4 inch receiver and an e-bike with fenders. The Convoy doesn't have the capacity you need, so that limits the options to just one bike rack, which is a premium rack, the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202.
This is the only rack that is going to work with a Class I hitch and and an e-bike with fenders,...

- I do have a solution for you, however, there is not a receiver hitch available for your 2020 Honda Insight.
We do offer the trunk mounted Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack # SA805BL for your vehicle. However, this bike rack is limited to 35lbs per bike (all trunk mounted racks have this 35lb capacity), and your ebike likely weighs more than that. You could remove the batteries from your bikes when transporting and this would lower the weight, possibly under 35lbs each depending on the weight of...

- You would be able to use the Blue Ox Adapter Brackets # BX88151 along with your Roadmaster Sterling tow bar.
As for supplemental braking, it is not a nicety, it is required by law in most states and is something I would strongly recommend even if it wasn't. Towing a car is something you want to ensure you have done everything you can for your safety and the safety of others on the road and a braking system is a major part of that. I recommend the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251, which...

- In the installation instructions of the Thule OutWay Platform 2 Bike Rack, # TH65JV, the upper support strap will connect in the gap at the front edge at the top of the hatch door. The clip should not have any contact with the glass in your hatch back door.
The strap may contact the glass, but the actual mounting point will be at a body joint on your vehicle.
However, Thule does state that when the carrier is mounted to your Honda you will not be able to use the rear wiper blade.

- SportRack has confirmed that the their Semi-Custom # SR1002 roof rack is a fit for the 2010 Honda Insight. As a semi-custom application, the rack is designed to fit many different vehicles. The key to getting a good fit, as you've heard, is following the installation instructions to the letter.
In regard to this roof rack, the old adage that says you get what you pay for is appropriate.
The key selling point of this rack is that it is pretty inexpensive. If you were planning on needing...

- On brake assembly # 23-468, and most electric brake assemblies, it does not matter which wire is used for ground and which is used for power. So they are not polarity sensitive and you can use either wire for either function. I have linked a few videos on this brake assembly for you. The matching right hand side assembly is # 23-469.
view full answer... - Anti-Rattle Device for a Tow Ready Trailer Hitch Bike Rack and Curt Class I Trailer Hitch
- Most 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch accessories have a solid shank. So any accessory that does have a solid shank cannot accept and anti-rattle device and lock like # SHP2082 because part of this device is meant to fit into a hollow shank.
But not to worry because there is another option. You can use anti-rattle device # RM-061-125. This device is very simple. Basically it hooks around the collar of your hitch receiver and tightly hugs the accessory to reduce or even eliminate excess movement....
view full answer... - Trunk Bike Rack Recommendation for a Honda Fit
- Yes there is as long as your Honda Fit isn't a Sport model, the Thule Passage Bike rack part # TH910XT that you referenced is confirmed as a fit.
However, the bike rack I would recommend is the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Rack part # TH45JV.
What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 rubber coated straps to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and super easy.
This rack also features locks...

- One of the universal bench seat covers is going to be your best bet for your 2013 Honda Insight. We have gray # AA3146G, black # AA3146B, and brown # AA3146BR. Please note that because they are universal they won't be an exact fit.
view full answer... - Option for Flat Towing 2004 and 2006 Honda Insight
- The only option we carry for flat towing your 2004 and 2006 Honda Insight is with a tow dolly like the part # RM-2050-1.
What's great about a dolly is that you aren't forced to buy more than one setup to tow both cars.
You would need to check owners manual of both vehicles to determine if using a tow dolly is okay.

view full answer... - What is Needed to Carry Bikes on 2010 Honda Insight
- The only thing that is required to carry bikes on your 2010 Honda Insight is a bike rack as well as the trailer hitch you mentioned, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11051.
However, it is important to note that this is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver, which means that the bike rack you get needs to be Class I compatible. For example, the perfect option for a Class I compatible rack is the Swagman XTC-2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # S64670.
The Swagman XTC-2 is a fantastic value...

- I may have an alternative solution for you, but there are not currently hitches available for the 2020 Honda Insight at this time. If you're able to remove the batteries to get your bikes at or below 35-lbs each you can use the Saris Bones # SA805BL to carry your bikes. This is a trunk mounted rack that uses ratcheting anti-sway straps to secure and stabilize your bikes.
This would be the only available alternative to carry bikes on your 2020 Honda Insight Touring without using a roof rack.

- Neither Curt nor Draw-Tite currently have any trailer hitch fits in development for the 2021 3rd generation Honda Insight. This model has been around since the 2019 model year, so the fact that there isn't a hitch fit yet would tend to indicate they do not have plans on producing a hitch for the vehicle.
If you were needing the hitch for a bike rack, Saris offer a trunk mounted bike rack fit for your vehicle that might be a good option for you. The Saris # SA805BL Bones trunk bike rack...
