Does 2013 Toyota Highlander Passengers Side Appearance Panel have to be Trimmed for Hitch Install

Question:

Hello I purchased the Drawtite Hitch 75726 and installed it. Took a little more time as it rained down this way. But on the passenger side panel cover that is reinstalled. Is there something that you have to show where i need to mark it so that i can trim it down correctly? Thanks

Usually if trimming is required there is a diagram in the instructions. In this case for hitch # 75726 on the 2013 Toyota Highlander it only states that the passenger's side panel can be reinstalled and not that trimming is required. That is why there isn't a diagram. If you choose to put the panel back on and it won't fit without trimming you would have to use the hitch as a template and trim the panel as needed.
