Expert Answers about Chevrolet Volt


  • Can Trunk on 2018 Chevy Volt be Opened with Trunk Mount Bike Rack Installed
  • Excellent choice on a bike rack! The Yakima FullBack # Y02634 is easier to install than a lot of other trunk mount racks and will look great on your 2018 Chevy Volt. The only trunk mount rack that I know of that allows you to lift your trunk or hatch without removing the rack is the Thule OutWay but it only fits certain vehicles and isn't confirmed to fit your Chevy Volt. You'll want to remove the bikes and rack because the rack could shift and it will be added weight to the lid so that...

  • Can I Use the Thule Rapid Traverse Feet # TH480R On My 2013 Chevy Volt with a Bare Roof?
  • I have a great roof rack solution for you. Unfortunately, I confirmed with Thule that they currently do not have any customized roof rack components or setups that work with your 2013 Chevy Volt (with or without the Thule Rapid Traverse Feet # TH480R). However, with that being said, Inno makes a great system that fits your bare roof. For that system, you need the following components: - Inno Square Crossbars - Steel - Black - 50" Long # INB127 - Inno Feet for Square Crossbars - Naked...

  • Roof Rack and Rooftop Cargo Box for 2017 Chevy Volt

For a complete rack you will need the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425, BaseLine Towers # Y28TR, BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06137 as well as BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06126. I have added a photo showing this rack installed on a '17 Volt so you can see exactly how it will look.

  • Hitch Bike Rack Recommendation For 2018 Chevy Volt Carrying A Carbon Bike
  • I would not use the Sportrack Pathway Deluxe 3 or the Hollywood Racks Commuter 2 Bike Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting, part # HR2500, with a carbon framed bicycle. Neither of these racks have anti-sway cradles. My choice would be the Saris Bones Hitch 3 Bike Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting - Steel, part # SA883. I would also take extra precaution and get something to protect the frame at the contact points of the frame, like old inner tubes. As for the upward arch, it...

  • Recommended Mounting Bracket for the Dutton-Lainson DL17042
  • As the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL17042 is typically mounted to a horizontal post or beam on a trailer, we will not have a bracket to mount it vertically. That being said, you may be able to adapt the Dutton-Lainson Mounting bracket # DL24059 to work for your needs, but it will require some doing. If you have the option, it will most likely be easier to drill into the vertical post to get the # DL17042 mounted securely.

  • Trailer Hitch Installation on A 2013 Chevrolet Volt With Rusted Weld Nuts
  • When installing a The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4 inch # C11221 on a frame that the weld nuts are rusted out will require some special attention. First you should spray a penetrating lubricant like WD40 into the nuts and allow it to work overnight. You can repeat this step for a few days if you have the time. Then you would need to use a tube brush # 814113 to help clean out the threads. This may require several solvent applications and brush cleanings to...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and 4-Way Wiring For a 2018 Chevrolet Volt
  • I recommend installing the EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7338 on your 2018 Chevrolet Volt. This 2" receiver hides behind your license plate and includes a fold up license plate bracket for easy access. Because it sits behind the license plate it does not hang down like the 1-1/4" Curt # C11436 which can drag on tall curbs or transitions you encounter. We have a link "Locate installers near me" below the photos and videos on our product pages which will allow you to search...

  • Weight Capacity of Thule 79-Inch TH713700 ProBar Evo Roof Rack Crossbars
  • The static capacity of the Thule # TH713700 79-inch ProBar Evo crossbars is 220 lbs. I called my Thule representative, who tells me that the bars don't carry a dynamic capacity and that the capacity maxes out at 220, regardless of whether the vehicle is moving or not.

  • Will the Thule the Gateway Bike Rack part # TH88VR fit a 2013 Chevy Volt

The following fit tips are recommended: Place top clips in the gap at the front edge of the top of the trunk, hatch or door. Place lower clips in the bottom edge of trunk or hatch. Lower arm of carrier should be positioned on upper tier of bumper. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative...

  • Hitch and Hitch Bike Rack Compatibility on 2017 Chevy Volt
  • I checked your order and the Curt Class I hitch # C11436 is a confirmed fit on your 2017 Chevy Volt. This hitch will be ideal for using the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack # SH12P. You will need to use the Curt support strap # 18050 or a similar item to help stabilize the rack's weight on the car. This is a Curt warranty requirement.

  • Trailer Hitch for 2017 Chevy Volt Premier with Back Up Sensors
  • When we had the chance to install the Curt hitch part # C11436 on a 2017 Chevy Volt it was a vehicle that had backup sensors and we were able to complete the install and they worked fine. We had one customer come back and say the only issue with the back up sensors they had was when they were carrying a bike rack since it would get picked up. This would be the hitch we would recommend! I attached the install video for you to check out as well.

  • What is the Best Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2012 Chevrolet Volt
  • The best trunk mount bike rack for a 2012 Chevrolet Volt is the Thule OutWay bike racks because they provide features and conveniences that their competition doesn't offer all in one package. The OutWay comes in a 2 bike version, # TH45JV, and a 3 bike version, # TH56BV. As far as fit is concerned, all of the trunk mount bike rack options that fit your Volt will mount in almost the same fashion. What sets the Raceway Pro apart is that is uses 2 retractable coated metal cables rather than...

  • Does the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver Cause a Blind Spot on 2016-2019 Chevy Volt?
  • No, the EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 306-X7338 doesn't create a blind spot. That RF sensor that sits behind the bumper trim and bumper bar gets moved at the 8 min mark in the installation video I have attached. The proximity and back up sensors are inside the bumper trim. When the hitch receiver is installed its behind the license plate bracket and completely hidden.

  • Can Trailer Light With Green and Brown Wire Be Replaced with Light with Additional White Wire
  • Your old assemblies grounded the lighting circuit through the mounting hardware and the lights you are looking at, # STL008RB, ground with a ground wire strap. So you'd need to run the white wire back to the mounting stud of the light or to the frame of your trailer and it will function properly.
