Question:

First, thanks for such clear instructions and a great video! Question: Where and/or what is the bumper locator pin that I may need to grind off? Mentioned in picture #5 of your detailed instructions Theres no mention of this in the video.

The bumper locator pin is a small plastic fastener designed to hold and secure the rear bumper fascia in place. I have attached a picture of this for you. They are located on the inside edge of the rear bumper fascia. It is only required to trim in applications in which the pin interferes with the direction of the bolt that holds the hitch receiver to the frame. If you do not have difficulties while installing these bolts, you will not have to worry about any trimming while install the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75908 on your Kia Sorento.
