  • Will Blue Ox Base Plate # BX1968 for 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser Work With Duncan Towmatic II Tow Bar
  • I have an option that will allow you to use your Duncan TowMatic II Tow Bar.

I spoke with my contact at Blue Ox and the Base Plate Kit for your 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser, # BX1968, will not work with your TowMatic II Tow Bar and there...

  • Hitch Cargo Carriers for 1-1/4-Inch Class I Hitch on 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  • You are correct that folding hitch-mount cargo carriers are made only in the 2-inch hitch size. Your 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser can only be fitted with a 1-1/4-inch Class I hitch like # C11132.

  • Installing Top Hooks of Trunk Mounted Bike Rack on 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  • You didn't mention which bike rack you have, but luckily enough one of my co-workers has a PT Cruiser that he uses a trunk mounted bike rack on. He agrees that getting those top hooks in place can be a challenge, but he's found that it's easier if you insert them at the top corners of the hatch, because the gap between the hatch and the vehicle is wider at that point. Once you have them inserted, you can slide them over more toward the center of the hatch. If this doesn't work for you,...

  • The Thule Passage 2 Bike Rack, # TH910XT, is listed as a fit for the 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser, however, Thule does not test their bike racks of vehicles with spoilers. Some spoilers cannot handle the weight of a bike rack and bikes and will begin to bend or deform.

The rear wiper will not interfere with mounting this bike rack,...
