What Part of the Bumper Fascia Requires Trimming on a 2010 Volvo XC70 to Install a Trailer Hitch

Question:
By rear fascia do you mean rear bumper? or the lower silver piece on the rear bumper?

Expert Reply:
The fascia is the plastic bumper cover. The bumper is actually the structural support that sits behind the bumper fascia. I have attached the installation instructions that explains what trimming is required to install the Curt Trailer Hitch, # 13266, on your 2010 Volvo XC70. I have also attached a photo of the step that shows were to cut. showing where the fascia is trimmed when installing a trailer hitch on the Volvo XC70. As you can see, only the underside of the fascia is trimmed, so it should not be noticeable once the hitch is installed.
