Hi

I bought a second hand Lexus dog guard today.

I can't understand how its supposed to fix in the car, unfortunately I only have 2 brackets and not the 4 I should have but even so I still don't see how to secure it.

Has anyone got one fitted in their RX 300 ?

If so how does it fix in?

Photos would be really handy or if there is somewhere on the internet I can find out?

I can post pictures of mine and what I have got if it helps.

The person I bought it from never fitted it in his car so he can't help either

Any help greatly appreciated

I have been visiting this forum quite a lot and reading lots of interesting articles.

I picked up my Lexus RX 300 a few weeks ago and absolutely love it.

I traded in my BMW 530 d and its the best thing I could have done, the luxury and ride and ... well everything is great.

Anyway, Hi I'm Grace from Norwich

I recently purchased a 2007 RX400h SE-L and love it. However the car came fitted with a fixed tow bar which I've decided needs to go now. The Lexus dealer had already capped the electrics off for me knowing it was likely but I didn't remove it entirely in case I had a use.

How easy/hard will it be to remove myself? I don't mind getting my hands dirty, but have not taken any bumper off a Lexus before I don't want to get half way through the job only to find a nightmare. Assuming the rear bumper has to come off of course.

Thanks for any advice

Probably not too bad - maybe 2-4hrs work depending on help knowledge etc

BUT

You will need a new bumper bar as the tow bar replaces the back bumper and also the foam inside the bumper will have been trimed/cut

Have a look at the fitting instructions and you should get the idea..

If you leave near in London I may still have the bar and rear towing eye in my garage from when I fitted mine

ALternatively you could just use a grinder to cut the existing towing ball bar itself off leaving the rest installed

If its a Witter towbar with the detachable tow bar ball I will buy it from you.

I have the towbar fitted but the detachable part became detached and now I need to buy another one and they are very expensive.

Or if anyone else has one they want to sell , please let me know

Thanks
