Expert Reply:
To trim the bumper fascia on your 2019 Honda CR-V when installing the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98848 you can use a pair of snips or simply a sharp utility knife. The material isn't too thick so it's not going to take a lot of effort. For the receiver opening you will just need to trim a 3" x 3" opening on the fascia (see attached image).
I have included the full installation video below that you can also use for reference. The trimming starts at around the 4:00 mark.
