Do I have To Cut The Fascia When Installing A Hitch On 2015 Audi Q3
Question:
do you sell any hitches that do not require cutting the fascia 2015 Audi Q3 Thanks
asked by: Stephen G
Expert Reply:
All of the hitches available for the 2015 Audi Q3 are concealed cross tube hitch designs so they all require fascia trimming. Both Class III hitches for your Audi Curt part # C13238 and Draw-Tite part # 75218 require a 3-1/2" square cut into the fascia so that the receiver portion of the hitch can stick through. I recommend the Draw-Tite part # 75218 because the installation instructions are better for this hitch.
The Class II hitch available for the Audi Curt part # C12148 requires a 2-1/2 " square because the receiver portion is 1-1/4" compared to the 2" Class III hitches. I have attached the installation instruction photo that shows where the fascia is cut during installation on all 3 hitches.
