How Much Air Dam Trimming is Required to Install 2011 Ford Fusion Base Plate Kit # 4420-1
Question:
Hi. How much of the front air dam has to be removed in order to install the baseplate? I am handy but not a mechanic so a little leary about removing the front end of my Fusion.

When installing the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, item # 4420-1, on your 2011 Ford Fusion, you will need to remove a portion of the lower air dam on each side of the vehicle. I have included a photo that details the area to be removed. We also have installation instructions online, see link, for this kit. On the Fusion, the cutting is minimal and the area cut will be filled in for the most part by the receivers for the tow bar brackets.
You should also refer to your vehicle owners manual for flat towing procedures.
