| | Installing the cradle for the towing ball, applies to cars without a spare wheel Note!
Check that there are no cable harnesses on the inside that obstruct the hole drilling process. |
Measure and make markings for making holes for the screw for the towing ball cradle. Pre-drill using a small drill bit. Drill out the hole to Ø8 mm (5/16"). Deburr the edges of the hole, apply rustproofing agent and remove the drill swarf.

| | Torque tighten the screws to 90 Nm (66.5 lbf.ft.) and angle tighten to 60°. There may be occasions that a protractor cannot be used on the torque wrench when angle-tightening joints in confined spaces. Instead use a hex screw head to determine the angle. Make a mark on the screw head flange (1). Make another mark (2) in the side member or reinforcement bar. Now tighten the screw so that the screw head marking (1) lines up with the marking (2) on the side member/reinforcement bar. Repeat for all screws.

Do not damage the painted surface of the bumper cover. Cut so that the raised edge on the inside remains. The raised edge marks the cut-out. |
Remove the tape. Smooth off the sawn edges with a fine toothed file. Install the tow bar's connector with cable harness according to the applicable installation instructions.
