Is Drilling or Welding Required to Install a Trailer Hitch on a 2012 Hyundai Accent Hatchback
Question:
I would like to verify that this hitch will fit my 2012 Hyundai Accent Hatchback. I did not see the instructions on the webpage and I want to make sure that there is no welding or drilling required. I am only wanting to put a bike rack in it. Thank you.

There is no drilling or welding required to install the Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24884 on a 2012 Hyundai Accent 5 door hatchback.
Because this is a Class I hitch, you must use a compatible bike rack and you will only be able to carry a maximum of 2 bikes. For a bike rack I recommend the Swagman Titan, # S63400. It is Class I compatible, can tilt down, and includes an integrated cable lock. I have included some links on this rack for you.
