• Are Covers Available for Mounting Pads on Rola Roof Rack 59834 After Rack is Removed
• The # 59834 roof rack you referenced is not a fit for the 2012 Mazda 5 models, it will only fit models up to 2010. Covers are not available for the mounting pads included in the Rola roof rack kit. If this rack were removed, it would need to be removed completely in order to replace the factory covers for the fixed mounting points.

• Will Rola Enclosed Cargo Carrier # 59108 Clear Spare Tire of of 2011 Jeep Wrangler
• The Rola Enclosed Cargo Carrier you mentioned, part # 59108 is designed for a 1-1/4 inch by 1-1/4 inch Class II receiver. To determine if it will clear the spare tire of your Wrangler, you will need to measure rearward from the hitch pin hole in your receiver to determine how much clearance is needed to clear the spare tire. The easiest way to do this is to have a friend hold a straight piece of lumber like a 2x4 up flush against the rearward face of the spare tire. Then, measure the distance

• Trailer Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier Recommendations for a 2004 Toyota RAV4 with a 2 Inch Hitch
• If you are looking for a carrier that is 32 x 48, then the options for one with the same rails as the Gear Cage are limited to it only. I think you might like the Rola 23 x 56 carrier, # 59502. It has similar rails and it measures 12-7/8 inches from the hitch pin hole center to the nearest edge of the carrier. Plus, you can add lights, like # 20174. You would need trailer wiring on the RAV4 though to make the lights work, # 118389. We also have the 24 x 60 carrier, # 63153 has similar rails a

• Trailer Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 2004 Toyota RAV4
• The first thing you will want to do is measure from the center of the hitch pin hole on your 2004 Toyota RAV4 out to the distance required to clear the spare tire. On a trailer hitch we installed on the same generation RAV4 and the measurement was approximately 10 inches. On the Gear Cage, # 5800200, it measures 5-1/2 inches from hitch pin hole center to the nearest edge of the carrier. Based on the differences this carrier is not the best fit for your RAV4.

• Cable Lock, Flip Shank, and Tilt Features on the Rola TX-103 Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack
• On the Rola TX-103 rack, # 59403, the cable lock is stored inside of the mast (upright bar) of the bike rack. Pull it out when needed or feed it back in when not needed. The current generation of this bike rack uses a pin that allows the rack to tilt. The lock was eliminated because Rola found that road grime can cause the lock to not work so the new design eliminates this issue. The arms can fold down by pulling up on the red handle at the top of the rack. When you change from 1-1/4 to 2 inc

• Will the Rola Cargo Carrier # 59502 Interfere with Liftgate when Installed on 2007 or Newer Tahoe
• Due to the 12-7/8 inch distance from the hitch pin hole, the closest portion of the Rola Cargo Carrier, part # 59502 would be far enough away from the liftgate that it will not interfere with opening it. As you said, having items on the carrier might prevent the liftgate from opening. If your tail lights are obscured by the carrier once it is loaded, you might want to consider a light kit. Kits are available in incandescent, part # 20174 or LED, part # 98174LED. A locking hitch pin like p

• Recommended Roof Top Cargo Bar for Mini Clubman
• The Rola Expandable Cargo Bag, part # 59102 is really designed for use on a hitch mounted cargo carrier.

• Will a Class II Cargo Carrier Work in a Class I Hitch on a 2007 Honda Fit
• The hitches available for the 2007 Honda Fit are all Class I hitches and a Class II accessory like the Rola Hitch Cargo Carrier, # 59507, will not fit in the hitch, because there is a stop inside the Class I hitch that prevents the use of Class II accessories which could overload the vehicle frame. For your Class I hitch I would recommend the Draw-Tite cargo carrier, # 6500, that is designed for a Class I hitch and has a raised shank to help with ground clearance when going over speed bumps o

• How Secure is the Rola Sport Extended Series Roof Rack, # 59834, for a 2010 Mazda 5
• On the Rola Sport Extended Series Roof Rack, # 59834, it does not have a traditional lock and key type of theft deterrent. Instead, the leg bolts require a special tool which is included with the rack to loosen it. Is it an impenetrable fortress? No, but without the tool they would have to break it free from the car. It would also be very difficult to remove the crossbars from the legs without first removing the system from the car. This is because of the design and how the bars mount to the

• Will the Rola Enclosed Cargo Carrier Clear the Spare Tire on a Jeep Wrangler

Measure 12 inches rearward from the hitch pin hole of the receiver hitch on your Wranger. If this 12 inch measurement passes the piece of lumber, it will clear the spare tire, and the Rola Enclosed Carrier will work great for you. Using a hitch e

• Length of Rola Sport Extended Roof Rack Cross Bars for 2010 Mazda 5 Part # 59834
• I spoke with one of my friends at Rola, who tells me that the cross bars on the Rola Sport Extended Series Roof Rack measure 1250 mm long. If my math skills are still holding up, that converts to a bit less than 49-1/4 inches long. He also said that there is no reason why you could not trim the length of the cross bar if necessary. Remove the end cap, cut to the desired length, and replace the end cap.

To determine if the rear door on your Yukon would clear that distance, use a tape measure, and measure 31 inches rearward from the hitch pin hole in your receiver hitch. At that 31 inch distance, have a helper hold a straight piece of lumber such as a 2 by 4. If you can open the rear of the Yukon without hitting the 2 by 4, you will have sufficient
