Is Gasket Material Included With Curt Trailer Hitch For 2015 Audi Q5

Question:

I have several questions. My vehicle is an Audi 2015 Q5 2.0 1. I am planning on buying the Curt Trailer C13136 . Do this include the gasket material in which is mounted onto the trunk pan. What is the part number 2. I like the cargo carrier C18153 for it being able to fold up. Is there a adapter to flip this up, ie L-bracket? 3. I have a yakima highroller in which I would like to install on the OEM cross bars. Using the Yakima universal mounts will limit me from opening the sunroof as there is minimal to no clearance. I would like to use the slots on the oem crossbar. Will the T-slot screws fit 8860085. the slot size for OEM cross bar is 21mm wide x 5.4mm tall with an opening of 11mm. Thank you

The Curt # C13136 is a fit for your 2015 Audi Q5 as long as it is not the Hybrid. Gasket material like a silicone gasket maker, part # LT37464 can be used for the holes in the trunk pan when installing the hitch. Also, Curt requires the use of a safety strap like part # 18050 for any non-trailer items used with the hitch.

There are no adapters available to use on the # C18151 and allow it to fold up, and at 29-lbs is very light.

We do not have any t-slot adapters that will work with the Highroller bike rack. I confirmed this with Yakima. A t-slot adapter would just not be secure enough in the slots on your OEM crossbars.
