• Difficulty Accessing Factory Plug to Install Trailer Wiring Harness on 2018 Honda CR-V
  It looks like you will need to pry up that trim piece around the hook. Under it there is likely going to be a screw or something that is holding it on. I recommend using something plastic to pry out that trim piece because a metal tool could damage something. We do have some trim panel tools, # PT73HJ, if you want to try those. Keep in mind that if this is the side panel it only has to be pulled out enough to reach the factory wiring harness that is behind it. Where is that hook located?...

• Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2016 Toyota Tundra with Factory 7-Way Connector
  For your new 2016 Toyota Tundra with the factory 7-Way trailer connector I recommend the Tekonsha P2 brake controller # 90885. This is one of our most popular controllers because it is easy to set up and use and it is reliable. You will also need wiring harness # 3031-P to plug the controller into the truck. To reach the mating factory connector, first locate the notch in the access panel in the center of the dash, near the driver's side. Using a trim panel puller, such as # PT73HJ, carefully...

• Replacement Unit For A Furrion FWH09AFA RV Tankless Water Heater
  The FWH09AFA just refers to the main unit of the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR93FR, not including the access door. Realistically if the unit is the only problem then I would just only order it and reuse your current access door. You'll have to scrape off the sealant and butyl tape that was used to secure the door and unit to the trailer. I typically use some composite pry tools # PT73HJ to scrape this off without scratching the wall of the trailer and ruining the paint job. You'll...

• Can The Roadmaster Invisibrake Be Installed In The Rear Compartment Of A 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler
  I spoke with Brad, one of our installers here that's done quite a few Invisbrake installs, and he stated that box under the front driver seat is tucked in further than you'd think so you'd have to purposefully kick it and it wouldn't be an accident. That being said, it is possible to mount the compressor box in the back of your Wrangler but you'll most likely need to get some additional 1/4" nylon vacuum line to go from the box to the brake booster in the engine compartment and also some...

• Recommended Remote Controlled RV Roof Vent For A 2021 Forest River Vibe 34BH
  We do carry remote controlled vent options that will most likely fit your 2021 Forest River Vibe 34BH but you'll want to doublecheck the size of the cutout hole just to confirm fitment since there are a few outliers out there that use a slightly small vent than the standard, which is 14" x 14". You'll want to just remove the inner trim piece to measure the cutout hole and confirm that it is 14" x 14" in order to fit a new vent. If it's not wide enough you can also enlarge the hole to make...

• How To Determine The Correct Replacement Speakers For A 2017 Jayco Jay Flight 28BHBE Travel Trailer
  There's no guide that tells us the size or part number of the speakers installed on your 2017 Jayco Jay Flight 28BHBE travel trailer, but 6" speakers like the Furrion Marine Speaker w/ LED Lights # FMS5L2BLOEM are a pretty standard for most RV's. Typically we recommend removing the speaker and measuring the cutout hole since speakers with the same exterior measurements can have varying cutout hole requirements. That being said, you can always trim the cutout hole larger if you got new...

• 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk Trailer Brake Controller Installation
  Vehicle passenger compartment plastic trim panels, like the dash panel on your Trailhawk that comes off to give you access to the brake controller port, usually have tabs that fit into slots or metal fasteners, in addition to the visible retaining screw. Once the visible fasteners are removed it may still require a bit of force to release the panel, especially on a brand new vehicle. Often a trim panel tool set like # PT73HJ can help loosen things up. These plastic tools will be less...

  When installing the Hopkins Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 43605, on a 2007 Nissan Xterra, you can remove the panel using a tool called a trim panel removal tool like # PT73HJ or # ALL648544. The panel most likely snaps in and the tool essentially pries the snaps out of the holes. To replace it you will just need to align the snaps with the holes and push it down until it snaps into place. The panel will have to be removed in order to remove the left and right rear panels that block access...

• How Does Lippert Components RV Entry Door Window Frame Install to Door
  RV entry door window frames like the # LC363370 are designed to install with several screws that attach it from the inside of the RV like in the install video I attached. To remove the window frame you'll need to remove the several screws that hold the two pieces together on the inside of your current door so that it can come apart. If yours really does press together without screws you'd need to use a plastic scraper or something thin that could be used to pry up on the frame to separate...

• Installation Instructions for a Trailer Hitch for a 2005 Mercedes E-320
  Curt trailer hitch # C11744 is not a fit for your 2005 Mercedes E-320. Curt trailer hitch # C11701 will fit. The instructions which I have linked for you state to unbolt the fascia tabs from the body. If they are true bolts then using the appropriate wrench would suffice. If they are more like clips I recommend a trim panel remover tool such as # PT73HJ to gently pry tabs.

• Trailer Hitch Fitment And Installation Difficulty For A 2023 Jaguar F-Pace
  The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13291 you referenced would be a compatible fit for your 2023 Jaguar F-Pace. As for the installation, to me it's not really a challenge and could easily be completed at home as long as you have a torque wrench, trim panel tools # PT73HJ, and are somewhat handy. I'd set aside a few hours so that you can safely remove the rear fascia without damaging the paint, but you could probably get it done within an hour or two. I've attached a short video below where...

• Removal of Travel Trailer Door Window to Replace with Lippert Entry Door Window for RV
  All of our window trim kits have screws. It is likely your window has uses an adhesive to secure your window in place since you don't see any screws. I recommend using the Performance Tool Pry Tool Set # PT73HJ to give you soft and hard nylon prying options so you don't scratch your door surface. I've have someone help secure the window from the opposite side so you don't drop it when the frame comes loose. Then you can use the Lippert Components Replacement Window Frame with Seal...

• Trouble Removing Front Fascia on a New 2024 Chevy Equinox To Install Blue OX Base Plate
  What you are experiencing is not all that uncommon. New vehicles like your 2024 Chevrolet Equinox can be rather difficult to remove some of the parts as all the clips are very stiff with the vehicle being brand new. And depending on your area and the weather it can be made more difficult in the cold. As Brad demonstrates on the install video for the Blue Ox Base Plate # BX1730 linked below he does also use some soapy water sprayed into the fascia parts to help release the clips behind the...

• Removing Rear Trim Panels to Install Trailer Wiring on a 2014 Subaru Forester
  Installation of Curt trailer wiring harness # C56040 is going to be similar to the 2 videos I have linked. In fact it should be just about identical. Once you see how it is done you will wonder why the dealer wants to charge such a price! I do recommend a trim panel remover tool, # PT73HJ, which does make things a lot easier.

• Air Dam Trimming Area to Install a Westin Grille Guard on a 2012 Dodge Ram 1500
  It sounds like you are talking about the lower air dam on the 2012 Dodge Ram 1500. There should be 6 bolts that hold it on located on the underside of the truck. The Westin Grille Guard, # 32-1965, does not have a template from trimming the air dam. Basically what you will do is remove the air dam, install the grille guard, and then trim the air dam as needed to fit around the grille guard. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. It is also recommended to use the...

The connection in the back is best accessed by removing the panel forward of the jack storage compartment like our installers show in the video I have linked for you to the right.

• How to Trim 2015 Ram 1500 Plastic Bed Rail Cover to Make Space for Stake Pocket Anchor
  The front stake pocket on your 2015 Ram 1500 is hidden under the plastic rail cap but there should be an outline or slight indentation in the plastic to show you where to make your cutout. I read some online comments from owners who said that slipping a plastic trim tool like those in # PT73HJ under the cap makes it easier to cut out the part that covers the stake pocket. You can use a utility knife or a small rotary tool if you have one.

• Is The Installation/Replacement Of A Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent Easy To Complete
  The hardest part of replacing a roof vent is definitely removing the old sealant. You'll want to use some composite tools, like part # PT73HJ, to carefully pry up the sealant without ripping up the roof membrane. You won't get all of it off but will be able to get a majority. Once you're done prying up the sealant you can wipe down the area with some rubbing alcohol to clean and prep it for new sealant. The Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan and Thermostat # FV802250 will come with...
