Is Fascia Trimming Required to Install Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2020 Audi Q7
Question:
Hi. I'm looking at the Stealth Hitch towing hitch 391AUDQ716T for my 2020 Audi Q7. When installing it will the bumper need to be cut at all. I think yes? but am unsure. Thank you.

Expert Reply:
Because of its extremely hidden nature (the hitch essentially becomes invisible to the eye when it's not in use) the Stealth Hitch # 391AUDQ716T will indeed require some fascia trimming on your 2020 Audi Q7 during installation. This is to allow the drop-down receiver to protrude through the bumper when it's attached.
The instructions that will come included do a really great job of outlining what needs to be cut. I have attached an image from this manual below so you can get a better idea of how big an opening will be needed.
