I believe I have a solution for you. But I checked with Yakima and they do not recommend any trunk mounted bike racks for your 200 Saturn Ion quad-coupe.
For a comparable bike rack that has been confirmed to work on your vehicle check out the Thule Passage 2 bike rack # TH910XT. Thule confirms this will fit your vehicle and should work well for you.
Check out the review video and installation instructions I attached.

For your 2005 Saturn Ion with rear spoiler I recommend the Hollywood Racks Express # HRE3. This rack is easy to use and lets you carry 1 or 2 or 3 bikes on your trunk up to 35 pounds each. I have linked a video review of this rack for you.
If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # HRBA-PRO. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better... view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11447 is compatible with the 2006 - 2007 Saturn Ion Ion3 with 2.4L Engine and the 2004 - 2007 Saturn Ion Red Line. If you don't have the Red Line, the 2005 model won't fit with this hitch receiver. You will need to instead use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11115 which is compatible with 2003 - 2003 Saturn Ion, 2004 - 2005 Saturn Ion excluding Red Line, 2006 - 2007 Saturn Ion excluding... view full answer...
Your Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar part # RM-520 is a great tow bar that would work well for you. You will need to start with a base plate kit confirmed as a fit for your 2006 Saturn Ion. For that you would want the part # 3136-1 which is a confirmed fit. Looks like you have coiled safety cable already too.
For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle... view full answer...
The best hitch option for your 2004 Saturn Ion would be the Curt part # C11447 as it has the highest weight capacity rating at 200 lbs tongue weight. The lightest weight cargo carrier we offer that fits this hitch would be the Curt part # C18110 which weighs a total of 30 lbs. I believe your vehicle has a 100 lb tongue weight capacity which you should verify in your owner's manual but you'd need to stay under that capacity with the total of the 30 pound carrier and your scooter. view full answer...
The Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles - 7" - 5 on 4-1/2 # 8-257-5UC3 will use a # 10-9 seal that is 1.5 inches inner diameter and 1.987 inches outer diameter.

For your 2007 Saturn Ion Quad Coupe a good entry level bike rack for 2 bikes is the Thule Passage # TH910XT. I confirmed with Thule that it will fit your Ion Quad Coupe. This rack will hold 2 bikes and features anti-sway cradles to keep the bikes from rocking back and forth in transit. I have linked a video review of this rack for you.

The 2-bike trunk-mount racks for your 2003 Saturn Ion are shown on the linked page. The best of the bunch is the Thule OutWay 2-bike rack # TH45JV. This USA-made folding rack has been in continuous production for many years, thanks to its superior 2 rubber coated strap attachment system, included locks for both the rack and your loaded bikes and the protection of Thule's limited lifetime warranty. I linked a review video to help illustrate the Raceway's features and installation.

We carry roof racks manufactured by Inno that will fit your 2006 Saturn Ion. The Inno roof racks use a clamp to attach the feet to the roof of the 2006 Saturn Ion. Inno has both square bar and aero bar roof racks that will fit on your car.
I recommend the Inno Aero Bar Roof Rack # INXB130-2, # INXS250, and # INK214. The Inno Aero Bar Roof Rack is constructed of sturdy aluminum and has a weight capacity of 100 lbs. The aero bar and low profile design allows for optimum aerodynamics to help... view full answer...
The Roadmaster Tow Bar Wiring Harness Part # RM-154 requires that you locate holes through which you can pass the 4-pole RV connector wiring. It is usually possible to locate rubber grommets that already have wiring passing through them if you remove carpet and trim panels in the rear of the vehicle. The tail light wiring may also provide an access point; you can try removing the driver-side taillight assembly to see if there is a grommet you can use.

Since you have a spoiler on your 2007 Ion I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top Bike Carrier # HRF2.
This bike rack is designed for vehicles with spoilers. I have attached a link to a product review video for this bike carrier you can check out.
Since you are going to carry a womens bike I recommend using an adapter bar like part # 64005. This attaches between the seat post and the handlebar stem and allows the bike to be carried more level in the carrier while providing additional... view full answer...
You are correct the instructions for the Rola TX-103 3 Bike Carrier 59403 see link, state that the bikes should not exceed 80 lbs. Most adult bikes will weigh in at 25 to 35 pounds so it will depend on the model of the bikes you wish to carry, if the rack would be compatible.
We do have 3 bike racks that will accommodate 3 adult bikes up to 100 lbs total, like the Swagman Trailhead 3 Bike Carrier, item # S63365. When using the bike carrier with a Class I trailer hitch, like those available... view full answer...
To determine if your specific 2006 Saturn Ion can be flat towed behind a motor home, the first thing you are going to want to do is check the owners manual. It will tell you if the vehicle can be flat towed and if there are any specific procedures or equipment that you will need.
The base plates I recommend for your Saturn are # DM9518151. There aren't any parts to remove and store when you're not towing. For a compatible tow bar use the Commander II # DM9511012. The safety cables are... view full answer...
In order to determine what chains, if any, can be used on your 2005 Saturn Ion, you will want to consult the vehicle owners manual. There should be a section on chains, if they can be used, and if so if there are any restrictions.
We have not had a 2005 Saturn Ion in to be fitted for chains so it is a measurement I do not have. What you can do is cut the wheels all the way left, measure, all the way right, measure, and straight, measure. You will measure from the inside of the tire to... view full answer...
From my research, I found that the Ion can be flat-towed if it is not the Red Line model. When flat-towing any vehicle, you will need 5 items. You need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting for the vehicle, and most states now require a supplemental brake system.
The base plates I recommend for your Ion is the Roadmaster EZ Base Plates, part # 523118-1. The tow bar I recommend is the Roadmaster Tracker Tow Bar, part # RM-020. Since you need to tow the Ion with the tow bar as... view full answer...
For your 2007 Saturn Ion only the Curt trailer wiring harness you mentioned # C56036 is a confirmed fit. The Tekonsha kit you mentioned fits other vehicles but not yours. view full answer...
You will not need a hitch extender for the Kuat Beta on your 2006 Saturn Ion 3. The Kuat Beta # B202-114 measures 10-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the upright bar. Since the bike rack has a rise shank, you will want to make sure there is room for the shank rise to clear the bumper. The shank rise on the Beta is approximately 3-1/2 inches, and the rise begins about 5 inches out from the hitch pin hole.
As long as the hitch receiver is not tucked up closely... view full answer...
A hitch reducer like the Curt # C45405 can be used to reduce your hitch opening from 2-1/2 inches to 2 inches so it will accept the shank of your Alpha Tow Bar and allow you to safely tow your Saturn Ion. view full answer...
I wish we carried all of what you are looking for, but we only carry the replacement blades. You would need to check with a GM dealer or a junkyard to see about getting the replacement arms.
For a replacement driver side blade you would want the part # SC86FR for a replacement passenger side you would want the part # SC46FR. view full answer...
Max speed for any tire chain is going to be right around 30 mph. You have to take them off any time you get to dry pavement or you'll wear out the chains quickly and potentially cause a broken chain to tear up your vehicle. view full answer...
