Installing a trailer hitch cover takes under two minutes: slide the cover's shank into the receiver tube opening, align the pin hole, and insert the lock pin to secure it in place.
A trailer hitch cover fits into the receiver tube the same way any hitch accessory does — shank first, with a cross-drilled hole that lines up with the receiver's pin hole once the cover is fully seated. On the Bonrcea hitch cover, a 5/8-inch hardened-steel lock pin drops through that aligned hole and either clips or locks depending on which pin style you use. The cover stays flush against the receiver face, blocking road salt, ice, and debris from entering the tube between tows.
