ADVICE FOR FITTING SAAB ISSUE: 01/87-921 TRAILER HITCH
APPLICATION: ALL 9000 MODELS, HITCH P/N 02-72-054
The installation procedure for the Saab Trailer Hitch (P/N 02-72-054) should be modified somewhat to ensure that consistent torque is being applied to
the bumper bolts. This advice may be used when installing new kits or if the present hitch is removed for any reason.
Installation Advice:
1.
The bumper is removed in order to install the hitch. Before re-fitting the bumper, remove the rectangular rubber spacers (shown in the drawing)
and discard.
2.
Apply weatherproof caulking in place of the rubber spacers. This prevents water and dirt from entering the car body and allows the bumper bolts
to be tightened more securely.
