If Fascia Needs To Be Removed For Service Does Hitch Also Have to be Removed on 2007 Honda Ridgeline

Question

Question:

I assume that if the fascia needs to be removed for service that the hitch will also need to be removed to get the fascia off. Does the interfere with any normal services that you are aware of. Thanks,

After reading the instructions it does sound like the fascia is removed and trimmed for the CURT 2 Inch Front Hitch, part # 33328 to fit on your 2007 Honda Ridgeline. Then, the hitch and fascia is reinstalled together, so if you have to remove the fascia later it will not come completely off with the hitch installed. I spoke with my contact at CURT and they did verify that the hitch would have to be removed to remove the fascia.

I do not know of normal services on the Honda Ridgeline that will require the removal of the fascia, but I would recommend to check with the Honda dealer to find out.

I am including a link to the installation instructions on the CURT front hitch.
