On my Honda CRV I didn't use the eyebolts. I hooked the clasps under the front bumper making sure they were properly spaced. No problems in over 3,000 miles. Wished I had bought the Protect-A-Tow to protect my previous Toad.
I replaced two windshields and then bought a windshield cover from CW that was held in place by the doors and tied inside. First time I got in heavy rain on the West Coast I found that wasn't the greatest thing. My floor boards had a couple inches of water. Seems it protected the windshield from rocks but allowed water to seep inside the car. Also, due to the compression of the door seals it created a lot of wind noise driving the Toad.

Has anyone used the Blue Ox KarGard II? It is similar to the Protect-a-tow, but is not restricted by the rear exhaust issue. It attaches to the Blue Ox tow bar hitch points and requires no additional connection to the toad or the MH.

I have a protect a tow as well. I have not seen anything that I think would do a better job and do it as easily. I did put the eye bolts on the Fit as well as the Georgetown. Not hard to do and makes hooking it up easy. I was concerned about the eye bolts on the Fit because is so low but in over 10 thousand km it's been fine.

Not A Clue - when did you get your Coastline product. Their website is no longer active. I'm going to try and call them tomorrow.

We are using the road master tow defender. Easy and works well.
