What to do if Bolts Seem Too Large to Install Hitch on 2017 Buick Enclave
Question:
I ordered the 13424 curt class 3 trailer hitch for my 2017 Buick Enclave. The bolts that arrived with the hitch are too large and do not screw in. Can you please tell me what size bolts will fit so that I may purchase the correct size.

Helpful Expert Reply:
This is actually a pretty common issue, and the bolts that came with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13424 that fits your 2017 Buick Enclave.
You will simply need to clean the existing bolt holes (weld nuts) with a spray lubricant and Wire Brush # 814092.
I have added links below to a help article on how to do this as well as a video which demonstrates this.
