Just installed one on my 2017 SE. took me about 2 hours with the electric. Got a Curt hitch (the one with the square tube frame and the wire kit from Carid. Pretty easy job. Only problem is I broke one of the clips that hold the bumper cover section on. So now I always have the hitch exposed. Wanted to put the cover section back on to hide it. It fits back on but will fall off without the clip unless I reinstall the plastic "rivits" on the bottom.did a search but only pulled up old posts. My Santa Fe did not come with a hitch, would like to get one. Any suggestions?
There are kits you can buy which have an assortment of different style clips and a few different types of removal tool and they are rather inexpensive. I've found it to be pretty handy to have when working on different vehicles.Just installed one on my 2017 SE. took me about 2 hours with the electric.
