Does Installation of Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Require Plastic Rivets
Updated 03/12/2025 | Published 03/07/2025
Question:
The video did not make mention of needing to use a plastic rivet gun but the written instructions do. The hardware packet includes 4 plastic rivets. Which is it? Rivet or no rivet?

Expert Reply:
Hey Rhett! I would go ahead and use the plastic rivets just to be safe. We probably left that out of the # DT94YR video since it is a minor step or we were able to reuse the old plastic fasteners that were initially holding on the fascia. It does say in the instructions that they are not reusable but occasionally that isn't the case and they still work.
