You should not have to remove any body panels to install Curt trailer hitch # 13707 on your 2008 Mercury Grand Marquis. I have included a link to the installation instructions and a video showing installation for you to view.
If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK4EL. It comes with an extra long ball mount (a long ball is required on this vehicle due to the position of the hitch), interchangeable ball set, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
For trailer wiring you can use # C59236 to add a 4-Way flat connector. I have included a link to a video showing how the wiring installs.
