Wouldn't taking off the rear bumper cover suffice?

I had this when i fitted my tow electrics.

You cant do it without the bumper off.

Remove the lights (using something to protect the bumper)

You need to pop up the rear tread plate - remove the clips underneath.

Undo the screws in each rear arch, and underneath the bumper

pop out the sides of the bumper and remove rearwards taking care with the reversing sensor lead.

Fit the tow electrics Mike

Towing electrics

Just take out the nearside rear lamp to get to the leads from inside the car. Thread and clip the plug leads along the rear of the bumper and plug in behind the light. Simple job 1Hr 2012 HSE SDV6 FUJI WHITE

Did that on the last 2 RRS pre 2012 - it seems the loom is now fixed and connector behind bumper.

Confused
