What Position Should Handle be When Installing Receiver of Stealth Hitch For 2019 Tesla Model 3

Question

Question:

I installed the Stealth Hitch on a 2019 Tesla Model 3 without issues. But ... 1. What is the small button at the bottom of the latching mechanism for? 2. How are extra keys ordered? 3. When installing the receiver, what should the position of the block handle be? 4. Any information on how to buy a cover for the rest of the access hole for when the receiver is in place? Thanks.

When installing the receiver of the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391TES317 in your 2019 Tesla Model 3, the handle should be turned clockwise so the longer portion is facing towards the front of the vehicle. That can be a bit difficult to explain without seeing, so I've added a cut out for you below so you can see how the handle should be of the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # 391TES317.

The button is part of the latching mechanism; it is a visual indicator that will go up when the receiver is inserted and pop back down when the receiver is removed. There is not a cover for the access hole when the receiver is in place, and extra keys alone are not available separately.
