I also installed the street scene hidden hitch and roll pan. The hitch went
on great, tows great.
I threw away the factory hardware and used a zillion small stainless steel
bolts w/ washers to attach, since the fiberglass
was a little thin on the mounting flange. The factory harware (all seven
screws) were so cheap, that when I tried to screw
them in, the heads snapped off. I also used 1/4" rubber weather stripping
to fill in the gaps left by the pan's problem of
being too short. The weatherstripping spaced the pan correctly and gives it
a very nice 'finished' look. To prevent degradation
of the fiberglass, I also undercoated the unpainted backside. All in all,
the streetscene stuff appears to be a little on the cheap
side as far as construction in concerned.
