Does the Fishwire Tool Come with Trailer Hitch # 13147, Will the Holes Rust on 2009 Subaru Forester
Updated 07/12/2010 | Published 07/10/2010
Question:
Does the wire used to fish the bolts through the frame come with the kit? And will my car rust where I have to drill the holes larger? Should I paint the holes prior to install?

The fishwire tool does come with Curt Trailer Hitch, # 13147, for the 2009 Subaru Forester. Corrosion and rust is a possibility and one way to help prevent it from happening is to give the holes a shot of spray paint like you mention. I have included a link to the installation instructions for reference.
