I checked the reviews for the pewag Servo RS Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains part # PWRS76 and there were no mentions of the self-tensioning mechanism failing. This isn't really a new design either as a lot of snow tire chains now have integrated self-tensioning mechanisms. It's really not an issue for passenger vehicles on-road. If you get into the larger trucks using them off-road that is where you'd want to steer away from self-tensioning or tightening cams but for everything else you'll... view full answer...
Yes, you can still use the locking skewer when the thru-axle adapter is installed onto the Swagman Enforcer Roof Bike Rack - Fork Mount - Clamp On - Aluminum # S64704. You will basically slide the thru-axle adapter in, then slide the locking skewer through the adapter to lock it. I attached a demonstration video for you to check out regarding this bike rack. view full answer...
If I were you I would strongly consider getting the Curt Hitch # C13135 over the Curt Hitch # C11286. The # C13135 is a Class III hitch that has a 2 inch opening and has much higher towing capacities than the Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch opening # C11286 that you referenced.
Not only will you have a higher capacity in case you need to carry more than 2 bikes on a bike carrier (Class I hitches are limited to only 2 bikes) you will have a much larger range of accessories that will work... view full answer...
While the hitch manufacturers do not provide specific measurements for the frame brackets on the # C11286 Curt 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch, you are correct that the hitch will sit below the bumper on your 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek. When you look at the design of the hitch, the receiver opening is in line with the cross tube, which means you will be able to see the cross tube running right below the bumper.
Curt has a couple representative pictures in their instruction sheet that should... view full answer...
The bolt leader is included with Curt trailer hitch # C11286 for your 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek. As for your second question I think you mean can the hitch be installed without a lift. Yes, it can, a lift makes it easier for sure, especially when filming installations (video linked for you). You might find it is easier to install if you jacked up the rear of the vehicle and put it on jack stands.
For ground clearance it will measure approximately 13-1/2 inches from the ground to the bottom... view full answer...
If you have a grinding wheel type of bit that could work to enlarge the frame holes on your 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek. Another option is to use a file. It takes a bit more elbow grease than a power tool but it works. And you also might be able to use a chisel and hammer if you have room enough to work under the vehicle. view full answer...
Yes, if fishwiring is required to install any of the hitches that we carry we include the needed fishwire to complete the install.

The Malone SteelTop Roof Rack part # MPG201 will not need to be removed if using an automated touch-less car wash. However, if you are using an automated non touch-less car wash then it would be wise to remove the system which is simple to do as there are only two bolts per side. Please note, removing the roof rack before entering an automated non touch-less car wash is a rule for all roof rack manufacturers not just the above. I will say I have not personally heard of any issues with a... view full answer...
There could be a way to route a trailer wiring harness through the bottom of the cargo area and out on your 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek. You will need to remove all the flooring that you can in the cargo area of the vehicle to get down to the metal. Then look for a grommet that you could route the wiring through.
If there is no grommet you would have to drill.
The weather stripping on the vehicle hatch will protect the harness wires provided the hatch is not closed on the harness. The wiring... view full answer...

Fishwiring is when you run a bolt leader, which is a long wire that on one end you can thread a bolt (it looks like spring), through the hole the bolt needs to go in, and out through a larger access hole. You then put on a spacer block or washer, then thread on the bolt and pull them back through the first hole.
Reverse fishwiring is when you put on the spacer block or washer, thread on the bolt, then shove them into the same hole they will need to come out of. Then you pull the fishwire... view full answer...
Since the safety chain loops on the EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7203 are directly behind the 2" receiver you will have to reach up and under the rear fascia on your 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek both to attach your safety chains and to access the hitch pin hole. This trailer hitch does give you an extremely clean look but if you plan on utilizing the receiver off and on it is not the most user-friendly design.
If you would like a trailer hitch that has safety chains loops... view full answer...
In order to install a 7-way wiring harness on your 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek you will first need to install a 4-flat wiring harness. I recommend the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness part # HM11143865 as it is a direct fit, plug-and-play option for you vehicle eliminating the need to hardwire.
To install the 7-way trailer wiring harness on your Subaru you will need to convert the prior 4-way into a 7-way. To do this you will want the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake... view full answer...
I may have a solution for you, but you're not going to be able to open the rear hatch of your 2015 Subaru Crosstrek XV with the Thule Passage # TH910XT while bikes are attached since the added weight of the bikes would likely damage the hinges/shocks on the gate. I'll also add that after opening the hatch while the rack is attached without bikes installed, you'll want to re-tighten everything just to make sure nothing became loose during the process.

I have attached the installation instructions for the trailer hitch we offer for your 2014 Crosstrek.
I recommend the Curt Hitch, part # C13135. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2 inch receiver opening. Per the installation instructions, the only modification on the vehicle is to enlarge the holes so the mounting hardware can be used. There is no mention of trimming the bumper.
Per Curt's Tech notes, a stabilizing strap like part # 18050 is required for all non-trailer loads used... view full answer...
In order to install a trailer hitch on a 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek you may or may not need to enlarge the frame access holes to feed the hitch hardware through. That said, I know may or may not is not very helpful but the issue is that we cannot say for certain if it is required on any one particular vehicle because the size of these access holes can vary sightly from vehicle to vehicle. Therefore, some vehicles will have the access holes large enough for the hitch hardware to slip through... view full answer...
