Does The Underbody Panel Get Reinstalled After Installing A Trailer Hitch On A 2019 Mazda CX-9  

Published 09/20/2023

Question:

Do you put the panel back on

1

Helpful Expert Reply:

The underbody panel you're referring to can be placed back on, but you'll have to trim it around the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit # e87AR in order to get it to fit. It is a bit challenging with this vehicle so most people would just leave it off. It won't hurt anything if you do decide to leave it off.
