something is very different! Your notch in the rear cover is much narrower that others posted her. It appears lower to the ground. Was the hitch redesigned?I did leave the other hitch on my car when I sold it, a nice surprise for the next buyer...
I don't have any other pics because its dark, but installation #2 is in the books!
It took about 20 minutes less than the first time, but I was also able to do this one myself. One thing I did differently was NOT use the ramps to lift the back of the car off the ground. Last time I struggled because of the height, I wasn't able to prop the hitch on anything while I got the bolts connected and ended up needing to have a friend come over to hold one side in place. This time, with the car being lower, it was more manageable. I got one bolt on pretty easily, then propped the other side up with a box and got a 2nd bolt in - that did take some time simply because I didn't have a good angle to hold the hitch, the washer and the bolt at the same time. But, once I got that 2nd one on the other 2 were simple.
Hopefully, this is the last one I have to put on for a while; I plan on keeping this MME a few years!
