There are times when even the large luggage compartment of ŠKODA FABIA isn’t enough. A trailer is one solution for transporting even the largest, most unwieldy items. If you frequently tow a trailer and don’t want to keep mounting and removing it again all the time, the non-removable tow bar is the solution for you. The tow bar is made of high-quality materials and, like all ŠKODA Genuine Accessories, has been through rigorous testing, which confirmed its top-notch functionality and durability. Naturally, it also conforms to the E8*55R02/00*13230*00 homologation norm.
In the case of the non-removable tow bar, the tow hitch is fixed to the tow bar’s cross-beam with two bolts (can be dismounted if needed).
When travelling abroad with a non-removable tow-bar without a trailer attached, it is always necessary to comply with the laws of the country in question.
Retrofitting of the tow bar also increases the demands on the car’s cooling system. That’s why it is, depending on the car’s specification, necessary to replace parts of the cooling system, referring to the information that is available to the service technician at your ŠKODA AUTO service partner or at the B2B portal.
