- On your 2003 Volvo V70 there should be 3 factory weldnuts on each side of the frame to which the Curt Trailer Hitch # C12318 you referenced gets bolted. With that being said the factory tow bracket on the passenger side, which needs to be removed during installation, may be blocking one of these.

view full answer... - Is it Normal to Have to Open Rear Hatch to Install Trunk Mounted Bike Rack
- Having to open the rear hatch of a vehicle to install the strap hooks of a trunk mounted bike rack is a pretty standard step. The clearances between the panels on most vehicles is too tight to be able to fit the hook in without doing so.
Did you try installing bikes on the rack at all to see how it performed? Thule is pretty thorough with the testing of the fits of their trunk racks like the # TH78VR since they do not want to damage your vehicle or other motorist's vehicles.
