Installation of Curt Trailer Hitch on 2018 Lexus RX 350L

Question

Question:

Hi, I am looking at trailer hitch for my 2018 Lexus RX350LNote: not RX350. Do you have an installation video specifically for that particular model? Because this car has a cover on the driver side with very narrow opening. I am wondering just how I will go about cutting or removing the cover and hope to actually see it done with one of your amazing videos. Thanks,
