In most cases you'll install this so that it opens facing the rear and that's going to reduce the chances that it gets damaged, but wind can still catch it and rip it off the hinges.

  • Is Drilling Required to Install Curt Class I Hitch # C11399 on 2016 Audi A3
  • The Curt Class 1 hitch, part # C11399 does not require any drilling except to enlarge some existing holes, as you'll see in the instructions that I've linked for you.
