  • How to Carry Bikes With 2017 Fiat 500C
  • I checked with each of our manufacturers, and there are no fits for trunk-mounted bike racks for a 2017 Fiat 500C; so while you can carry a bike, you will need to install a trailer hitch receiver and hitch-mounted bike rack. For the hitch, what you will need is an option from Curt: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11363 This is a Class I hitch, so you will need a Class I-compatible bike rack, such as the Thule Apex XT 2-Bike Rack # TH9024XT or Hollywood Racks Destination # HLY94FR.

  • 2012 Fiat 500 Recommendation for Carrying Cargo
  • Since you have the panoramic glass roof on your 2012 Fiat 500 we are going to need to go with an alternative solution for transporting cargo as there isn't a roof rack that fits with the glass roof. For your application I recommend installing a trailer hitch and using that to add some cargo carrying room to your vehicle. You can use the Curt Trailer # C11347 if you have the Abarth but if you don't then use the Curt Hitch part # C11363 instead. The # C11347 has a hidden crosstube design...

  • Does Curt Trailer Hitch 11364 Fit a 2014 Fiat 500L
  • Curt trailer hitch # C11364 was specifically designed to fit the 2014 Fiat 500L. The review suggests that there is no fishwire included. One of our other experts checked this and found no fishwire was included so # 80101-1 would be needed as well. The ease of installation is relative to the vehicle the hitch is being installed on and not the hitch so much. Installation of a hitch on this vehicle is not difficult, just time consuming. Regarding a lack of holes in the bumper the reviewer...

  • Inno Roof Rack for 2016 Fiat 500X
  • If your 2016 Fiat 500X has a naked roof, you can absolutely use the Inno roof rack that has the XS200 feet. The correct parts for the rack are Aero Crossbars # INXB100-108, Flush Feet # INXS200 and Custom Fit Kit # INK482. This will give you a complete roof rack with bars that are aerodynamic to give you a quiet ride; they also have T-slots which will allow you to mount some accessories and come with locking covers to help protect your investment.

  • Carrying Two Large Bikes on a 2017 Fiat 500L
  • The Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV, is confirmed to fit your 2017 Fiat 500L. The rack will handle large bikes as long as they aren't too heavy. It can handle bikes up to 33 pounds each. You also probably need a bike frame adapter bar like the Swagman Deluxe, part # 64005. This creates the horizontal tube to hang the bikes from to keep them level if the bikes don't have that bar. If your bikes are too heavy for the OutWay then I recommend adding a trailer hitch receiver to your Fiat because...

  • SeaSucker Vacuum Cup Mounting Capacity, Function, and Fit
  • The SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Vacuum Cup Mount - Folding - 48" Long # 298-SX6000B does simply use the vacuum cups as the sole securing factor. Each vacuum cup is rated for 210 lbs pull strength, so this system is claiming 1,200 lbs of pull strength and they have been tested with cargo at highway speeds without issue. The strength is really incredible...I've attached a video to assist. For increased security and theft deterring, they recommend the window mounted cable anchor...

  • Will SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B Fit a 2016 Fiat 500 with Sun Roof
  • Assuming that there is enough space on the roof of your 2016 Fiat 500 to mount the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B so that it does NOT rest on the sunroof then yes, you can use it. Otherwise in order to carry cargo you would need to use a trailer hitch such as # C11363 if you do NOT have an Abarth model or # C11347 if you DO HAVE an Abarth model. If you do go with a trailer hitch option and want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then...

  • Are LED Trailer Lights Needed For Less Power Draw on Fiat 500 T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118546
  • The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector, # 118546, that you mentioned, is designed for the 2012 - 2015 Fiat 500. The T-One connector plugs directly into your existing wiring and the powered ModuLite reduces strain on wiring system. With a ModuLite, power is drawn directly from the car's battery so there is virtually no draw on your taillight circuits so a standard lighting set-up would be just fine. LED lights would not be required.

  • Will Blue Ox Base Plate Kit From 2013 Fiat 500 Fit 2017 Fiat 500 Abarth
  • The Blue Ox base plates between the 2013 and 2017 Fiat 500 models are the same as long as you have the same sub model for the vehicle. It looks like the mounting locations are the same for the products but the difference is where the tabs are located so that does make enough of a difference that you'll need a new base plate kit. If your 2013 is an Abarth then it will work for your 2017 Abarth. If they are different you'll need a new base plate kit. I'll list out the different part numbers...

  • How to Carry Bikes With 2014 Fiat 500e

  • Will Hollywood Racks Express Bike Carrier Fit 2012 Fiat 500 POP Hatchback
  • I called my contact at Hollywood Racks and asked about your 2012 Fiat 500 POP. They said the Hollywood Racks Express, part # HRE3 is a great fit for your Fiat. This bike rack weighs just 10-lbs, and has a weight capacity of 35-lbs per bike. When carrying bikes with alternative frames like kids bikes or women's bikes 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...

  • I do have a solution for you but there are indeed no Demco base plates options for a 2018 Fiat 500 Abarth .

  • The SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" Long # 298-SX6000B you asked about are definitely rated for speeds of 70 mph in good driving conditions. Each of the 6 vacuum cups is rated for a pull strength of 210 lbs. This rack on your vehicle is rated for up to 150 lbs at those highway speeds, so you will not have any issue as long as your board is secured to the rack well.
