Removing Driver Side Under Body Trim Panel for Hitch Install on a 2014 Honda Odyssey
Question:
I have a concern on removing the under body trim panel and not reinstalling it as I am not sure what I am exposing to the elements. Is there any danger by removing that panel that dirt or moisture or mud will damage the car? I have a 2014 Honda Odyssey EX

Expert Reply:
The rear trim panel that needs to get removed on your 2014 Honda Odyssey doesn't really serve a purpose beyond giving the rear of your vehicle a cleaner look from underneath it.
Removing it to install the Draw-Tite part # 75270 wouldn't be a problem at all. There would be no adverse affects at all. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
