  • Aluminum Fascia Support on 2009 Infiniti G37 is Welded On and Cant Install Trailer Hitch
  • I spoke with my contact at Curt. There have been only 2 or 3 cases where customers with the same vehicle have found that the plate in question is welded on.

Another option would be to cut the welds but you would likely not be able to get a tool in there to do so. I wish there was a more definitive answer,...

  • Your Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 will install in your 2017 Infiniti QX80 using the same wiring adapter part # 3050-P that was used in your 2014 model year vehicle.
