Today we're going to review part number C58200. This is the Curt 4-way Flat Wiring Connector Cover. Now this cover is made to cover your 4-way flat connector. It is made of a flexible rubber. It helps prevent rust and corrosion and prevents any damage to the terminals of your 4-way. This is designed to be used on the vehicle end 4-way and I'm going to show you one of those in a minute here, show you how this works.
This part number would be for a quantity of one. Here's an example. I pulled a 4-way vehicle end and the reason this is a vehicle end 4-way is because if you'll notice three of the terminals have the rubber covering them and the ground terminal is exposed. The reason this cap is designed to use on the vehicle end is because if you look on the inside of it, there's an area for the three terminals that have the rubber around it to clear and then on the very end there's a round circle that fits on that exposed ground. When you go to install this, you'll just go ahead and slide this over the 4-way. Go ahead and pull it all the way down and you could actually just leave it on like that and when you're using this, plug in your trailer and use it like that. When you're done trailering 00:01:11, just unplug it.
Take your cap, just swing it over, put it right over and it closes completely over the terminals. Then that way when you're not using it, that won't be dragging down and damaging the terminals or any elements getting to the terminals. Then just pop it off, just pop it off like that and if you want to remove it, you can just pull it off the 4-way like that. That should do it for the review on part number C58200, the Curt 4-way Flat Wiring Connector Cover. .
Average Customer Rating: 4.8 out of 5 stars (169 Customer Reviews)
I gave this five stars because it's probably perfectly fine for what it is intended. However, I accidentally bought the wrong thing. This cover is meant for the vehicle side, and it's probably fine for that, but I had meant to get a cover for the plug on the trailer side like this https://www.etrailer.com/dept-pg-Accessories_and_Parts-pc-Connector_Covers.aspx. Nonetheless, this cover still works on the trailer side -- it's just a little loose. As to etrailer, I've bought several things from them and they always get 5 stars plus.
Sierra K - 05/26/2022Keeps the trailer connector clean and not all corroded.
Easy to install, worked as advertised. Very happy with the quality.
Excellent fit. No problems with install or use.
Great product
Nathan - 12/13/2021Shawn B. (& everyone I talked with at E Trailer) was wonderful. Great phone support. Great products. We did a great job installing the wiring harness. Made me wonder why we originally took it to a "professional" trailer sales & service place in Ogden UT. They hacked into our wiring & created problems. I will continue to be a grateful customer. Finding good people who know their stuff in todays world is a soul healing event. Thank you E Trailer!
Nancy - 08/19/2018Excellent service thank you
This was a quick and inexpensive way to install a permanent 3-way plug on my towed vehicle. Allows wiring to be hidden out of the way and the rubber connector cover keeps dirt out of the plug.
Michael - 07/27/2019The "etrailer" print on the cover is not white but instead black which blends in with the background. Since I already have the trailer hitch receiver that says etrailer, it would've been nice for it all to match.
Patrick B - 10/07/2014The product arrived on time. No missing parts. Fairly easy to assemble and put in place. The videos online are very helpful and perhaps the best reason to buy from etrailer.com
the electric plug cover is fine it could be a little longer so when you rap it around the hitch to hold it there it is easier to plug over the plug to cover it.
Richard L - 05/27/2016This was a great find. Car dealership wanted $$$ for their complete assembly when all I needed was the plug cover. Thank you etrailer for stocking this. Prompt shipping too!
Happy s - 03/12/2017I needed 2 4-Way Flat Wiring Connector Covers for my Yakima Kayak Trailer wiring harness system. Etrailer seems to have everything. They had Curt harness system covers. Fit perfectly. Very durable, and only $1.78.
Halle C rocks! Thank you for the great service!
Fits over the plug of the wiring harness like a glove. Keeps dirt and water out.
Easy to install, will protect the connector when mounted under the car on the receiver frame. Pack the connector with dielectric grease and forget about it. Cover fits snugly and tethered to prevent losing it.
Bought a used Highlander w/ trailer hitch, and noticed the wiring harness connector was starting to corrode. Found this connector cover on-line. It shipped same day I ordered it & was received quickly. It fits like a glove on my 4 connector wiring harness. Great price too.
We’ve had problems and it works very we ll!
Product was exactly as described and what I needed. Packaging was questionable and damaged during shipping which caused some small parts to escape during transit. Customer support was great and shipped out replacements immediately. I have used etrailer several times now and this has been the only issue. I will definitely use in the future. Highly recommended.
Connector covers (2) and cover w/LED tester work as advertised. A little dab of dielectric grease on the connectors PLUS these covers is all you'll need to keep corrosion and bugs out of your trailer connectors. Just plug-up and go............no wire brushing and trying to get a good connection due to corrosion. Can't beat them.
Very happy with the product and seller on this purchase. Good product and good price! It installed with no problems and now works great for my "Franken-basket" hitch, which combines a Thule swing-away hitch mount with a low-profile metal basket.
These are great storm covers for trailer wiring plugs. I put a small amount of electrical grease on the plugs a couple of times a year then apply these covers to prevent corrosion. They work great !!!
Cover works as it is suppose to, and keeps moisture out of the contacts. Price was right and delivery was quick! Thank you!
Items arrived quickly. Everything hooked up very simply and as E-trailer suggests, make sure your trailer wiring is in order. Mine was not and because of their suggestion I saved myself a lot of headache and time. Everything now works - very happy!!! Be sure to use dielectric grease on all your fittings.
Cheap but effective in protecting the wiring harness connector. I put a little bit of dielectric grease inside the flat wiring cover to keep the moisture out and prevent rust.
