Most Popular Recessed Mount for 2017 Volkswagen Passat

I put 8 of these on my trailer to strap over the tires on my side by side. Works great and doesn't stick up like e track. It was also convenient that the backing plates and hardware came with them.

I am completely satisfied with the product. However, I had two problems; 1. One of the metal baking plates was missing from the box. 2. The online video on installation needs to be corrected to reflect the proper size hold saw to use. The video indicates you should use a 4 3/8" hole saw; however, if you use this size saw, the D-ring anchor base will not seat properly. In addition to purchasing a 4 3/8" blade, I had to go back and purchase 4 1/2" blade, which worked perfectly. Small difference in size, but big difference in fit. The video recommends you be very careful about making sure the holes drilled are perfectly vertical, and they are correct! The holes in the backing plate are barely big enough for the bolt; so beware. The good news is that customer service was prompt and immediately shipped me a replacement unit, not just the backing plate. Once installed, this is one sturdy anchor and should easily handle my wife's new Polaris Ranger.
