If the # e98906 hitch installation hardware is torqued according to the instructions, it won't be necessary to use # LT37420 thread locker. You can certainly do so if you wish, however please note that the torque specs mentioned in the installation instructions are for dry torque. If thread locker is used you'd use different torque specs (wet torque) which can be looked up online dependent on the size and class of the fastener. view full answer...
I've attached one of our installation videos that covers the process, but it's extremely simple. All you'll do is untwist a tab on each side of the old hinge to allow it to slide off; then slide the new Ventline Cover # BBC0530-01 onto the hinge. view full answer...
I would be happy to help you with some mounting instructions for the Optronics LED Clearance or Side Marker Trailer item # MCL0040ABB. The directions are extremely vague so I will walk you through the process. You will want to connect the white wire to the ground wire on your trailer and the yellow wire to the power source using a heat shrink butt connector item # 05731-5 to make a weather tight connection. Then remove the lens from the cover of the light to access the mounting holes on... view full answer...
To make the installation of the Curt Hitch part # C11354 as easy as possible it will help to have the rear end of the vehicle lifted up in the air so that you can get underneath it. Removing the existing bolts in the frame would not then cause the rear of the vehicle to come apart and/or fall down after they get removed.
There is no drilling required for the install of this hitch either. view full answer...
You have what is called multiplexed wiring for the wiring of the taillights of your 2012 Volkwagen GTI. The trailer wiring kit part # 119250KIT is designed to work with this setup so what you will need to do is run the yellow wire of the harness to the left turn wire, the green wire to the right turn wire and then run the red wire to the brake/taillight circuit of the vehicle. You will note that the brown wire is not used.
The converter box of the # 119250KIT will be able to interpret... view full answer...
With any trunk-mount bike rack that uses hooks like the Thule Passage 2 # TH910XT, you cannot open the trunk with the carrier attached. This is because the hooks that install into the trunk can bend or even damage the trunk when trying to open it. In order to safely open your trunk, you need to completely remove the rack. Although, in order to remove the rack, this is a quick process that simply requires you to remove the hooks or bikes (if you have them mounted).

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13366 is a great option for adding a hitch to your 2019 Volkswagen Atlas although we don't have an etrailer branded hitch currently that is a confirmed fit for this vehicle. This hitch will do the job for you whether you're looking to carry bikes, additional cargo, or towing. The black gloss finish looks great and will help resist corrosion for a long life of use on your Atlas.

The Firestone Coil-Rite helper springs, # F4176, are made of an elastic polyurethane and not a regular hard plastic so they can move and flex with the vehicle suspension and will last for years provided they are inflated as specified in the instructions, linked for reference, and not overloaded. view full answer...
If you find that you have limited wheel well clearance on your 2013 Volkswagen GTI, you do not need to jack up the car to install the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tires # TC1547. It may be a really tight fit, but the first step you need to do is to lay the chains flat and attach the inner-wall cable on the inside of the tire first just like our installer does on the attached video. One tip you can do is place the cables between your thumb and pointer on each hand and place your hands flat into... view full answer...
Curt has marked the trailer hitch # C11083 as a 5 out of 10 stars for difficulty on your 2002 Volkswagen Jetta Wagon. They have estimated that it will take about 50 minutes for someone to install it if they are used to working on vehicles.
If you don't work on vehicles very often you should still be able to do it but it will likely take you longer. I have attached the written instructions for you to reference.

I spoke with my contact at Tekonsha and verified that the Tekonsha ZCI Wiring Harness, # 119250KIT, is the correct wiring harness for your 2012 Volkswagen Golf TDI. Your vehicle uses a 3-wire multiplex wiring system, meaning it sends multiple signals along the same wire.
To install this wiring harness in your vehicle, you will use the included circuit tester to test the wires at the back of the tail light assembly. Using the circuit tester, test for the wire that carries the tail light... view full answer...
Installing the P3 on your 2013 Volkswagen Touareg is possible, however an aftermarket plug-in harness is not available. If the pigtail that you found under your dash is for a brake controller, you will either have to splice the wires from the brake controller to the wires from the pigtail or you may be able to get a plugin adapter from Volkswagen if one is available.
You should not need any additional parts to install the brake controller because the brake controller will come with the... view full answer...
I checked with Thule and for the Aeroblade Edge Roof Rack part numbers # TH7501B-TH7502B that you referenced this is the fit tip they offer regarding the moonroof:
"Thule does not recommend opening, venting, or retracting the sunroof/moonroof/glass roof while the rack is mounted. Damage to the glass and/or opening mechanism can occur." view full answer...
According to Tekonsha, the 2012 Volkswagen Tiguan needs to be wired using the BM-1 code in the instructions (linked for reference).
This would mean that the brake lights, turn signals, and tail lights are combined onto 1 circuit for each side of the vehicle. So you will attach the yellow wire for the converter to the left side wire on the vehicle that carries those 3 functions, the green wire attaches to the combine 3 function wire on the right side. The red and brown wires will ground... view full answer...
According to Yakima, the glass hatch adapters are not needed to install the Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Rack part # Y02637 on your 2012 Volkswagen Eos. Instead, you will need to convert the top two hook straps to anchor mode using the diagram I have attached for you which is also page 4 in the installation manual. The other 4 straps (2 side/2 bottom) will not need to be converted to anchor mode.
If you are looking for any sort of security then you will want to use part # Y02623 to secure the... view full answer...
Yes, all of the trailer hitches for your 2019 Volkswagen Golf R require some fascia trimming for the installation.
Out of the available options I recommend going with the EcoHitch # 306-X7332 because it is he only option for you to use a 2" receiver. The larger receiver means you have the opportunity to carry a wider variety of accessories than you would if you had a 1-1/4" receiver.
I have attached a link to the installation instructions for you to check out. view full answer...
If the stop light circuit or CHMSL (center high mount stop lamp) circuit on the 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack are the only things that are on the associated fuse you could use a fuse tap in that location and wire the brake controller red wire to it. It has to be a dedicated brake light only circuit though.
Another option is to tap into the combined brake light and turn signal wires on the trailer connector, which I assume is a 7-Way since they want a brake controller, using converter #... view full answer...
You may indeed ask about installing the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11474 on your Volkswagen Jetta, and lowering exhaust means simply loosening some bolts so part of the exhaust hangs down. This will give you the needed space to slide the hitch into position to complete the install of the # C11474.
I have added a link below to a video install which shows how simple it is to lower the exhaust; that portion starts at about the 3:40 mark. view full answer...
It sounds like you are referring to the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # TK94FR. I spoke with my contact at Cequent to find out what would happen if the Remote Hand Held Unit were to come unplugged, and he confirmed that the trailer-mounted Power Module would function on the Hand Held Unit's previous settings. If the Remote Hand Held Unit were to come unplugged, it should be plugged back in and the unit will continue functioning properly. Keep in mind that this brake... view full answer...
In order to install the # 306-X7395 EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver on your 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan you will need to remove the bumper fascia as well as the bumper cross member.
The # 306-X7395 will replace the cross member and the bumper fascia will be reinstalled over the hitch. You will not reattach the bumper cross member. I recommend saving it should you need it for some reason at a later time.
