Yes, I have a few hitch bike racks that will fit your 2000 Chrysler Sebring Convertible. They will attach to a trailer hitch on your vehicle and be able to carry 2 bikes. The maximum number of bikes that your Sebring Convertible can carry will be 2 bikes. I am including a link to a page that will list the choices of hitch bike racks that will work on your vehicle.

If you need a hitch for your vehicle I would have the Curt Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # C11187. This hitch is an easy bolt-on installation. It requires some drilling and the exhaust must be temporarily lowered. Also, the heat shield must be permanently removed for hitch installation.

The hitch bike racks will come in two different styles. The hanging rack, where the bikes will be attached to the bike rack by the top horizontal tube of the bike frame, and the platform rack, where the tire and wheels of the bike will be inserted into wheel hoops or cradles.

For a hanging style bike rack I would recommend the Swagman Trailhead 2 Bike Rack, part # S63360. This is one of our most popular hanging style bike racks at an excellent price.

On a hanging style bike rack if you will be carrying womens bikes or childrens bikes that do not have the middle horizontal bar, you will also want to look at the Swagman Bike Adapter, part # 64005, which clips on to the seat post and the other end to the handlebar post and gives you the level, horizontal bar that is needed for the bike to sit level on the hanging bike rack. I am including a link to a video review of the bike adapter bar.

For a platform style bike rack I would recommend the Swagman XTC-2 Bike Rack, part # S64670. The platform style bike racks are easier to load compared to the hanging racks because you do not have to lift up the bike as much when installing the bikes to the bike rack. I am including a link to a video review on the platform style bike rack.

I am including a link to a FAQ page on how to choose a hitch-mounted bike rack that might help answer some questions.
