Nice! I got the same trailer just today to pick up a new project bike. Judging by how quickly I can still accelerate, this is a lot less weight than I had when I was doing my cross-country trip....

Nice! I got the same trailer just today to pick up a new project bike. Judging by how quickly I can still accelerate, this is a lot less weight than I had when I was doing my cross-country trip....
Hahahaha love it!
Yeah no, got around to installing it and still not satisfied. They could've put some more tabs around the perimeter and made it a flush fit, but I suspect they didn't do that to skimp on...
Oooo I didn't read too closely, so I didn't realize you had one.
In that case, just want to confirm how the cover mounts - there are two tabs closest to the front of the car, do those engage onto...
I just got the parts in the mail, and found fitment of the cover pretty poor. Did some snooping and found this on a UK forum:

Just bought the diffuser (including flap and water shield) for $145 landed to my door from here. $112 for the part, and $33 for shipping:

Heck, mine pulled a 2k lb trailer with bad gas and at times I was flooring it for minutes at a time going up hills. I have massive respect for our cars - fun to drive and a workhorse!

Glad you got it done!
I test fitted the hitch rack today - doesn't touch my paint at all, which is how it should be.
Honestly it's not that much quicker than stuffing the bike in the trunk,...
Yeah, seems a bit suspect, but if those giant roll-on trays with e-bikes hold, then my carbon road bike on such a light hanging rack should be no problem.
About the trailer weight, I think you'd...
Well, the stars aligned and I found this one in Utah - it seems these ones that mount to the hitch ball are only available in Europe so I got super lucky. Price wasn't too bad either!

So I'd initially assumed the Westfalia racks had the same quick-release interface, when in fact they just mount on the existing 50 mm ball. Which in this case opens up a variety of options such as...
Seems like I should just do like before and look for a used Westfalia bike rack from Germany! I'm in no rush with 1 light road bike, but just handy to have

$$$! I'd rather fab up a square receiver adapter, then spend $100 on a cheaper hitch rack
Ha. I have it down to a rhythm now. Carbon frame makes it quick and easy!
Any kind of...
Ha! Let us know how it goes.
I'm trying to find a way to make a square receiver adapter to the quick release, so I can put a hitch-mounted bike rack. I don't want a roof rack and I obviously do...

That one is for a touring which may or may not fit on a sedan or coupe. But keep your eyes peeled, there are deals to be...
Thought I'd add to this post - Tony's google album in the first page pretty much covers installation. For anyone wanting to do this to a facelift coupe with LED tails, you need to tap into the plugs...
