Velcro works, it doesn't leave marks and can quickly be released and reused

Now here`s a bloke that knows his stuff

I replaced my stereo. Not at all difficult.
I fixed the rattle in that A/C fan, now it's just a bit noisy due to dust but then little plastic bit is no longer there causing noise.
& I took off the towball. Don't kown how long it has been on there but it didn't want to come off. Longest job of the 3 but the 1 I left until last because I thought it would be the easiest.

I recall somewhere that having a tow hitch/tongue on a vehicle that's not towing could result in a fine. same as driving with towing mirrors on when not towing.
I leave my tow bar tongue on all the time.

Who takes their tow ball off?
But I can understand the law having barked my shines on a few tow hitches, when our daughter was young she was walking with her Mum through a car park & split her head open when she walked into a empty bike rack on the back of a parked car.
The owner of the car was lucky I was not there.

I have just started taking my Tb off only because I was given a green plastic LR plug which turned out I had one already lost deep in the luggage bins.
My safety clip that holds the pin in is a PIA to fit what’s yours like.

I witnessed a local priest hit one really hard with his shin, it must have hurt like hell. I was in earshot and heard the woman accompanying him, praised the Lord for him not swearing.
However this little heathen would have used a few choice words.
