Tools to Use when Trimming Fascia of 2018 Volkswagen Atlas to Install EcoHitch
Updated 06/30/2020 | Published 06/29/2020
Question:
I have a 2018 Volkswagen Atlas, and like the idea of the EcoHitch hidden hitch for my car. Ive already got accessories that Id like to use with it and like the thought of the higher ground clearance. For the install, what is the best way to trim the fascia so it doesnt look bad after?

Expert Reply:
Our installers normally will use tin snips and utility knives to trim the fascias of the vehicles to install hitches like the EcoHitch part # 306-X7362 but a rotary tool like a dremol would also work really great for a quick method that will look good too.
