Expert Answers about Pontiac Vibe


  • Will the Pro Series RB3 Weight Distribution System part # PS49582 fit a 3x2 Trailer Frame
  • If the width of your trailer frame is 2 inches and the height is 3 inches the Pro Series RB3 Weight Distribution System part # PS49582 would work well for you since it can fit 2 inch wide frames. If your frame is wider than 2 inches you could get the Reese Chain Hanger Brackets part # RP58305. I attached an FAQ on weight distribution systems for you to check out.

  • Can 2005 Pontiac Vibe Be Flat Towed Behind Motorhome
  • I checked the online owner's manual for the 2005 Pontiac Vibe on the GM website and it shows that the front-wheel-drive with manual transaxle CAN be flat towed without need for a transmission lube pump and it can also be towed using a dolly like # RM-2050-1. However, the all-wheel-drive version cannot be flat towed, nor can it be towed with two wheels up on a tow dolly. The basic parts of a flat towing setup include the tow bar, lighting kit and braking system you mentioned, as well as...

  • Will Curt Hitch # C12221 for 2009 Pontiac Vibe Work with MagnaFlow Cat-Back Exhaust # MF16849
  • Curt and other makers of hitch receivers determine how their products fit to any vehicle based on the vehicle being in stock condition. They cannot test their hitches with all possible aftermarket products and so Curt cannot offer absolute certainty of the compatibility of their hitch # C12221 with your MagnaFlow exhaust # MF16849. However, my technical contact at Curt did offer that if your aftermarket cat-back exhaust uses only the OEM exhaust hangers and mounting points, if the pipe...

  • The SportRack Vista cargo box # SR7018 will fit on crossbars that are no wider than 4 inches and on a center to center crossbar spread of 23-5/8 inches to 34 inches. You will need to measure your crossbars to determine if it will fit based on the measurements I have provided here. Depending on where the antenna is placed on the roof and how high it sticks up, it may or may not be in the way. The box is 63 inches long and based on images I have seen of the vehicle the antenna is at the...

  • What Draw Bar Fits Draw-Tite Class I Hitch Part # 24812
  • The Draw-Tite Class I hitch you were looking at, part # 24812 uses a 1-1/4 inch receiver. A class I hitch usually has a stop welded into the receiver tube or a detent punched into it to prevent a class II accessory from being used. If the draw bars you have were intended to be used in a class I hitch, they will work. Keep in mind, Draw-Tite recommends only using the part # 3593 draw bar. If the draw bars that you have measure any longer than 1-1/2 inches from the center of the pin hole...

  • Availability of Roof Rack Crossbars To Carry Kayaks on 2006 Pontiac Vibe With Factory Side Rails
  • The Malone SteelTop Roof Rack, part # MPG201, is a correct fit for your 2006 Pontiac Vibe with the factory installed raised side rails. To carry two 45-lb kayaks on the roof of your Pontiac Vibe you will want to first check the weight capacity of the roof on your vehicle. If it is lower than the 165 lb weight capacity of the Malone rack then you will need to go by the lower weight capacity as your guideline. I have done some research and cannot verify the weight capacity of the roof...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Required to Carry a 64LB E-Bike With a 2005 Pontiac Vibe.
  • It is possible to use a bike rack like the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202 as it is rated to carry bikes up to 65lbs and will work with a class I or class II receiver on your 2005 Pontiac Vibe. The rack itself will weigh 45lbs giving you 109lbs total for the bike and carrier weight. This would allow for you to carry a second bike if needed. The EasyFold also includes an aluminum ramp to assist with loading and unloading the bike. If you use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12234 on your...

  • Hitch and Ball Mount Compatibility on 2010 Pontiac Vibe
  • Your 2010 Pontiac Vibe can be fitted with either of two hitch classes, either a light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class I hitch or a higher-capacity Class II type (also 1-1/4-inch size) depending on the version of the Vibe you have. For reference the hitches we offer for your Vibe are linked at right. It sounds like you have a Class I hitch and a non-compatible Class II ball mount. Some Class I hitches have a stop inside the tube to prevent use of ball mounts that are not rated Class I. We do not...

  • What is the Correct Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for a 2005 Pontiac Vibe

Therefore, if you wanted to get your money back then you would need to return the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C53KR and order part # 55057 instead.

  • Roof Rack Option for 2010 Pontiac Vibe
  • So it sounds like you are looking for a roof rack for your 2010 Pontiac Vibe where part of it is attached to the fixed mounting points and the other is a clip-on option. While we do have a nice rack option, there isn't a good option for that because of the types of roof racks available for this vehicle. The best available rack option is a from Inno and it uses bars that go past the rack's feet, and uses a fit kit to clamp on, which is made up of the following parts: - Inno Aero Crossbars...

  • Adding Larger Wheels to Trailer Hub Assembly with Same Bolt Pattern
  • You can add larger wheels to a trailer as long as you have the same bolt pattern and enough room for the larger size. The main clearance issues we find when putting larger wheels on a trailer is from the top of the tire to the fender and from the inside wall of the tire to the trailer wall/frame. Also you will want to keep the weight capacity in mind. Larger tires will typically have a higher weight rating. Tires with a higher weight rating will not increase the load carrying capacity...

  • Can RockyMounts HighNoon FC Solo Bike Rack Carry Bike with Flat Front Tire
  • The RockyMounts HighNoon FC Solo # RKY87RR can be used to secure a bike with a flat front tire. You'd tighten the arm of the rack down which will tighten through the tire to the rim and give you a secure way to hold your bike. I found a few people online who did this on more than a few occasions and were perfectly fine.

  • Roof Cargo Bag Compatible w/ Rola Roof Rack on 2009 Pontiac Vibe
  • Although roof mounted cargo bags work best when they're sitting flat on a cargo basket like the # TH859XT Thule Canyon XT Roof Basket, you can indeed place a cargo bag directly on the roof and use the bag's straps to secure it to the crossbars. This would be a perfectly acceptable installation that would work just fine. The bag will be partially sitting directly on the roof surface, so using a non skid protective mat like part # RL100650 is recommended. Rightline makes some really good...

  • Will the Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 Fit the Factory Crossbars on my 2004 Pontiac Vibe
  • I do have an option that will work for you, however, Yakima does not have a cargo box that will fit the factory roof rack on your 2004 Pontiac Vibe. Instead, I recommend looking at the Thule Pulse Cargo Box, # TH614. This cargo box is similar in size to the Yakima RocketBox Pro 14, # Y07192, that you referenced and it will fit on the factory crossbars. According to Thule, this cargo box may hinder your ability to completely open the rear hatch when it is installed. If you would like...

  • Trailer Hitch & Related Items for 2009 Pontiac Vibe

An installation video for each hitch is linked. The recommended ball mount to use in either hitch is part # C45521. Use pin and clip kit # F-4 to secure the ball mount in the hitch.
