Rain-X Latitude Wiper Blades Installation - 2002 GMC Envoy
Today on this 2002 GMX Envoy were going to do a test fit of part number RX5079279 from Rain-X. This is a latitude windshield wiper blade. A few things to know about this windshield wiper blade is that its designed to be an all-weather replacement. It has a beam style construction so it makes sure it conforms to the windshield of your vehicle. It has an aerodynamic design that reduces wind drag noise and lift at high speeds. The rubber squeegee has built in UV inhibitors to help protect it from the sunlight.
Thule Sidekick Roof Mounted Cargo Carrier Review
Today we are going to show you the Thule Sidekick roof mounted cargo carrier, part number TH682. The Sidekick features 8 cubic feet of storage space and only weighs 16 pounds. The lid opens from the passenger side and there are two locks, front and back, to secure the lid closed. The contour of the lid and the foam gasket help the box seal up and keep moisture out. Inside, the spring assisted hinges help you open the lid. Inside the box, you will find pre-drilled mounting holes for our U-bolt mounts. Thule includes a set of vinyl stickers to cover the unused mounting holes. This will help keep moisture out of the box. The Sidekick uses a U-bolt mounting system. The U-bolts go on the underside of your cross bar and come up through the bottom of your Sidekick. On the inside, the plate fits over the top of the U-bolts and the wing nuts secure the cargo box on to your crossbars. It is designed to fit most aftermarket and factory installed roof racks. Once we have all of the U-bolts in place and tightened down, we can go ahead and load the cargo into the Sidekick. And that does it for the Thule Sidekick, part number TH682.
Putco Nitro Blue Halogen Headlight Bulbs Installation
Today we are going to be installing the Putco Nitro Blue Halogen Bulb, part number P239006NB, on a 2002 GMC Envoy. The first step in installing the new halogen will be taking out the headlight assembly. What you want to do is pull up on these two metal tabs. Then, you have to move it back and forth. Just rock it a little bit to pull the assembly out. We have pulled back the headlight assembly but we can not fully pull it out until we disconnect the wires. So we are going to go ahead and do it with the lift side first with this headlight. And this will be the only part that you actually need a tool for. And it is just taking a screw driver and putting it under this tab and pushing up, which releases the pin so you can pull it back with the other hand. That way, you can pull back the headlight, giving you a little bit more working room. 1:00
Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2004 GMC Envoy
Today we are going to install part number 90185 from Tekonsha. We are installing a Prodigy brake controller on a 2004 GMC Envoy. The first step here on the Envoy is locating the tow package. And the tow package is actually located underneath the dashboard behind this plastic facing here. There are 2 screws, one to the left and one to the right that hold that into place, and we will go ahead and remove those and pull this down. Then we will locate the wires that will be right up over here somewhere. The panel just pulls away, like so, but make sure not to pull it too hard because there is the diagnostic and Aux port over here that we do not want to pull any wires out of.
GMC Envoy Questions and Answers
- Weight Distribution System for Chaparral Horse Trailer Towed By 2004 GMC Envoy
- The first step in choosing a weight distribution system is to definitively identify the fully-loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of the trailer. There are a few methods of doing this, as you can see by clicking on the link I provided.
Knowing the exact tongue weight is a crucial step in choosing the correct system for your application. If you choose a system that does not have a high enough capacity, the system will not be effective and could be damaged. Choosing a system whose capacity is

- Tire Chains for a 2003 GMC Envoy with P245/65R17 Tires
- If the owners manual mentions a clearance issue then the best bet is to go with Class S chains which require the least amount of clearance around the tires. Tire chains # PWH3227SC are not Class S compatible but we have other chains for your 2003 GMC Envoy that are.
If you will not be needed the chains very often or do not live in an area where chains are required by law then I recommend a set of cable style chains, # PW3010C, with tensioner # PW99. I have included a link to a video review of

- Weight Distribution and Sway Control Recommendation For a Pole Tongue Snowmobile Trailer
- I do have a solution that will allow you to add a weight distribution system and sway control to your snowmobile trailer. Since your trailer has a pole tongue, you will need a pole tongue adapter like part # RP58393. This adapter provides two attachment points for the lift brackets of a weight distribution system. This adapter should be placed on your tongue approximately 29 inches back from the hitch ball.
The weight distribution system that I would recommend for you is the Reese SC Weight

- Fit of K-Source Clip-On Towing Mirror # KS3891 on 2008 GMC Envoy

- Universal Fit Towing Mirror Recommendations for a 2008 GMC Envoy
- The most popular universal fit towing mirror is # 7070. The width of the glass portion is 7-1/2 inches across. This will definitely help but if you have a very wide or long trailer you may not be able to see to close behind it. Mirror # 40375 that you referenced would be about the same.
For more visibility a mirror like # 11650 would be a better choice. It mounts on the door of the vehicle and extends out 17 inches. I have included some video reviews for each of the above mirrors.

- Recommendations for Backing Trailer With Friction Sway Control Unit Installed
- Although it is not mentioned in the instructions, it is regarded as a good practice to disengage the friction sway control before backing the trailer, which is why we specifically mention it in the product description. If the trailer should jackknife during backing, the sway control unit would be damaged. Because of this, I would agree with your dealer and would join him in urging you to disengage the unit before backing.
You will also want to disengage the unit when towing on slick or icy pa

- Watersport Carrier Recommendation for a 2006 GMC Envoy with Factory Roof Rack
- The Rola Multi-Pivot Watercraft Carrier, # 59876, was designed to fit the specific shape of the Rola Sportz crossbars or a certain size T-slot on top of the bars. It has not been tested on other bars so I cannot say if it will fit or not.
What I recommend is to use some foam blocks, like # ABR525. These blocks are universal and can fit square load bars, round crossbars, factory bars and naked roofs. They also include bow and stern tie downs.

- Will the Hopkins 7-Way to 4- and 5-Way Trailer Connector Adapter Work on a 2006 GMC Envoy
- Provided that the 7-Way on your 2006 GMC Envoy is fully functional, then all of the pins on the Hopkins adapter, # HM47675, will work.
On the harness, the pin for using this unit with a 5-Way flat requires that the reverse light circuit on the 7-Way is attached and functions. This is the center pin on a 7-Way. If it is not working on the Envoy, you will need to run a wire from the back center pin on the 7-Way to a reverse light and tap into the wire there.

- Location of Tow Package Wiring 2007 GMC Envoy
- I spoke with my contact at Tekonsha, who tells me that the tow package wiring should be located under the dash, above where the drivers left knee would be as shown in the video I have linked to. He had no information regarding any other place under the dash where the wiring would be located.
If your Envoy does NOT have the factory installed 7-way trailer connector at the rear bumper, the wiring might not be present, and the controller would need to be hardwired using our Brake Controller Ins

- Will the Yakima Control Tower Roof Rack Fit on a 2005 GMC Envoy With Factory Tracks
- The Landing Pad, # Y00221, that you referenced will work with the existing tracks on your 2005 GMC Envoy. This landing pad is part of the Yakima Control Tower Roof Rack. You will also want to pick up the Round Crossbars, # Y00408, and the Control Towers, # Y00214. These additional items will complete the roof rack assembly for your vehicle.

- Comparing the Thule Doubletrack and T2 Trailer Hitch Mounted Platform Style Bike Racks
- What we have here between the Thule Doubletrack, # TH990XT and the T2, # TH916XTR, is a good, better, best type of situation. Thule has made several bike racks available at different price points for people with varying budgets.
The more expensive T2 also has more features and is more versatile thus the reason it is at a higher price point. The T2 does come with a cable lock, locking hooks, and a hitch lock. It does come with the locks. If you wanted them to be keyed like another Thule access

- Recommendation for Weight Distribution on 2002 GMC Envoy Towing a Jayco 198RD Trailer
- To determine the correct weight distribution system on your 2002 GMC Envoy towing a Jayco 198RD, you will need to use the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the trailer. You will also want to make sure that your existing hitch on your Envoy is compatible with a weight distribution system.
To choose a weight distribution system you will need a system that has a tongue weight capacity range that encompasses the trailer tongue weight loaded and ready to tow, plus the weight of any gear in you

- Is there a Video that Shows How to Perform the Fishwire Technique to Install a Trailer Hitch
- The CURT Front Mount Receiver, # 31055, does bolt to the vehicle frame rails but the bolts do not go all the way through each frame rail. Instead, like you have said, you will fishwire the hardware into the inside of each frame rail through access holes in the frame.
The fishwire technique is not as difficult as you might think. Even though I do not have a video showing the hitch being installed on a 2006 GMC Envoy, I can provide a link that explains and shows how to fishwire hardware. I have

- Can the 2-Way Pop Up Ventilator be Installed on the Side of a Cargo Trailer
- I went to the warehouse and pulled the 2-Way Pop Up Ventilator, # RV-626-062, and checked to see if there is a gasket in the opening of the vent and there is. This should keep weather out of the vent when closed. I did a short video showing the gasket and how the ventilator works to open in either direction.
Your main concern might be that the vent will stick out 2-1/2 inches when closed and 6-1/2 inches when fully open. As long as the fenders are out farther than this on the sides of your tr

- Could I Use the 28 x 48 Hitch Mounted Wheel Chair and Scooter Carrier on my 2005 GMC Envoy Denali
- Based on the weight capacity of your Envoy and the measurements of your hitch opening it would seem that you have a Class III hitch.
However, Vehicle manufacturers do not necessarily use the same classes as the hitch manufacturers do. Since your 2005 GMC Envoy Denali has a 2 inch by 2 inch hitch opening you could use this 28x48 Hitch Mounted Wheel Chair and Scooter Carrier part # SC500.

On your 2008 GMC Envoy the typical tire sizes that come on your vehicle is the 245/65R17 or the 245/60R18. The 245/65R17 tire size can use the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains for Light Trucks # PW2014C. If you have the 245/60R18 tire size

- Weight Capacity of the Sport Rack Explorer Cargo Box on a GMC Envoy
- The load capacity of the cargo carrier is 100 pounds. The carrier itself weighs about 30 pounds.
Check your vehicle owner manual to see what the weight capacity of your Envoy is. If it is 130 pounds or more, you can load the box to its 100 pound capacity.
If the capacity of the roof is less, subtract 30 pounds from the roof capacity to cover the box. Whatever is left is the weight you can load into the box.
