Recommendation for Taking Play Out of Curt Cargo Carrier # C18153
Published 04/09/2015
Question:
When using the curt 18153 folding carrier basket in the folded upright position, there seems to be alot of play/rattle. What would you recommend in stopping the rattle on the folding pin and hitch itself. Thank you

Expert Reply:
The only solution I could recommend for you would be to use a stabilizer strap like part # 18050. You would run one end of the strap to the top seam of your trunk/hatch on your vehicle and the other end to the carrier so that tension in the strap will prevent the carrier from moving as much.
I attached a review video for the strap for you to check out to show you how it works.
