Expert Answers about Chrysler Sebring


  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Needed for a 2009 Chrysler Sebring
  • We do have some roof racks that fit your 2009 Chrysler Sebring. Out of our selection I recommend going with the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero roof rack. This consists of the 49" Crossbars # RRVA126B-2, the 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA, and the DK Fit Kit # DK199. The great thing about the aero style crossbars is that they cut down on wind noise and drag when compared to traditional crossbars. The kayak carrier that I recommend using is the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier # S512. This mounts to...

  • Will the Hollywood Rack Express Fit a 2005 Chrysler Sebring Convertible
  • Yes, the Hollywood Racks Trunk Rack part # HRE3 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2005 Chrysler Sebring convertible. As long as you do not overload this rack (35 lbs per bike) and keep the painted surface of your vehicle where the rack would touch clean this rack would fit and work well without causing any damage. Hollywood Racks also recommends taking extra care when attaching the upper straps so you would want to be aware of that as well. If you plan on carrying...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2005 Chrysler Sebring Hardtop Sedan with a Blue Ox Tow Bar
  • Since Blue Ox does not make a base plate kit for the 2005 Chrysler Sebring sedan hardtop, the only kit you can use is Roadmaster XL base plates # 270-1. In order to use the Blue Ox tow bar you will need to use an adapter, # BX88178. This adapter will result in a 24 inch spacing between the brackets. You will need to determine if your tow bar can be used at this 24 inch spacing. You will also need safety cables like # RM-643. For lighting I recommend a simple magnetic kit like # RM-2120...

  • 3-Bike Rack Recommendation for 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible
  • For your 2008 Chrysler Sebring convertible the Hollywood Racks Express part # HRE3 is a confirmed fit and would work well as long as you do not have a spoiler on your Sebring. It can carry up to 3 bikes, is priced great and was tested on your vehicle and determined to be a fit. This is a trunk-mount carrier. If you do have a spoiler, I can offer another trunk-mount carrier, the Hollywood Racks Expedition 2 Bike carrier # HRF6-2. It works with most spoilers. In your question, you asked...

  • Is There a Class III Hitch Available for a 2001 Chrysler Sebring
  • Class III hitches are reserved for larger vehicles like trucks and SUVs. For your 2001 Chrysler Sebring there are only Class I and II hitches available like the part # C12186 for if you have a Sedan, part # C11190 for if you have a convertible or part # C11187 if you have a coupe. Using a hitch adapter like what you described actually cuts the capacity of the hitch in half so I would not recommend that either. If the Sebring is your only tow vehicle option you would need to use a small...

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Carrier for a 2008 Chrysler Sebring Hard Top Convertible
  • At the time the question you are referring to was answered the hitch # 24871 was listed as a fit for all models of the 2008 Chrysler Sebring. As you have found that has since changed rendering that answer irrelevant so I thank you for finding it and bringing it to my attention. Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch are sister companies so hitch # 24871 and 60288 (discontinued) which DO fit the convertible are basically identical. They even share the same instructions. The difference is that the Hidden...

  • Tip for Retrieving Bolt During Hitch Install Where Spacer Plate was Forgotten
  • If you didn't damage the bolt leader you could put it back on the bolt and see if you could feed it back towards the access hole. If you can get it close to the access hole you might be able to use a flexible retrieval magnet to get it the rest of the way out. Local car parts store would have a magnet like that.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2004 Chrysler Sebring Convertible
  • Based on my research, it looks like your 2004 Chrysler Sebring has a towing capacity of 1,000 pounds. I strongly recommend verifying this information by locating the towing section in your copy of the vehicle owner's manual. If you decide to tow a small motorcycle trailer, I recommend looking at the Curt Class I Receiver Hitch # C11190. This trailer hitch is confirmed to fit your vehicle and will provide a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. I have included the installation details for you to...

  • Tow Bar Lighting for Vehicle on Tow Dolly Plus Easily Transferable Brake Controller
  • Since trailer lighting can't work in reverse what you'd need is tow bar wiring/lighting so that you can operate the taillights of your 2008 Chrysler Sebring in conjunction with your tow dolly wiring. For that you can use the diode kit part # RM-154 which will wire into your vehicle taillight wiring and give you what you are looking for in that regard. For a brake controller that can switch between your two vehicles easily the best option is the Curt Echo # C51180 which basically just...

  • Recommended Heating Element Socket for Atwood 6 Gallon RV Water Heater
  • The Camco Wrench for Screw-In Water Heater Element # CAM09883 is a socket for the 1-1/2 inch nut on water heater elements. You can however use a box end wrench, channel locks, or a plumbers wrench if needed. Often sediment and corrosion can make it difficult to remove an old element so a good connection is important.

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible
  • The trunk-mount rack I suggest for your 2008 Chrysler Sebring convertible is the Hollywood Racks Express 3 # HRE3. This rack's design allows it to clear your trunk-mounted antenna. If you are willing to install a light-duty Class I hitch on the car, such as # 24871 from Draw-Tite, then you can avoid placing any extra stress on your trunk (and your antenna) by using a hitch-mount rack like the Swagman XC # S64650. Hitch racks put the entire weight load of the rack and bike on the car's...

  • I have a few different options for you to install both a ladder rack and tonneau cover together on your 2019 Ford F-150 with 5-1/2' bed but you will be limited to ladder racks that install in the stake pockets and tonneau covers that mount inside the bed rails.

  • Availability of Trunk Mounted Bike Rack For Sebring Coupe
  • Thule does not offer a truck-mounted bike rack that is compatible with your 1999 Chrysler Sebring 2-Door Coupe. However I do have a solution for you. For a 2-bike carrier, I recommend the Hollywood Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier # HRF2. This rack is a confirmed fit with your Sebring and features an over the top mounting style which makes it compatible with many other vehicles as well. I have included a video review of the Hollywood Rack for you to check out. If you will be carrying bikes...

  • How to Pick Up Base Plates, Tow Bars and Other Parts to Flat Tow a 2002 Chrysler Sebring
  • Base plates and tow bars are sold separately since the base plates are vehicle specific and the tow bars are not. The first thing you are going to want to do is consult the vehicle owners manual to determine if the Sebring can be flat towed and if so if there are any special requirements. I have included a link to the base plate main page for your Sebring. There are different base plates for different versions of the car. Once you have determined which base plates will fit you can then...

  • Solution for Carrying a Small Generator on the Back of an RV
  • I have a solution for you, but the # e99052 is not designed to be used as a standalone carrier; it would need to be used with the 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper - Steel - Folding - 500 lbs # e99049 in order to carry any real weight. This carrier has a capacity of 500-lbs, so it would do well for carrying a generator. With that said, you may want to instead look at the Mount-n-Lock GennyGo Generator and Cargo Carrier for RV Bumpers - Steel - 200 lbs # MNT54FR, which has over...

  • Recommended Bike Rack for a 2008 Sebring Convertible
  • You are correct the Draw-Tite 1-1/4 inch hitch # 24871 will be a great choice for your vehicle. I can help you with choosing a bike rack. I would highly recommend the Thule 2-Bike Helium # TH9042PRO. The distance from center of hitch pin hole to back of upright mast is 14-3/8 inches, see linked image. This would certainly be enough clearance for the convertible top to be opened or closed with the bikes loaded and without having to tilt the bike rack away from the vehicle. The Helium...
