I think that is gonna be hard to do effectively or efficiently unless someone wants to make or design a whole new cover. Which probably doesn't make sense. The reason being is the way the cover attaches...it doesn't slide in...you have to slot it in and swing up as you know. I made the mod in the link and looked at a lot of ways to make it easier because it was driving me nuts. That's the only thing I could come up with that didn't requires modifying the cover itself and was reasonably cheap and effective. But maybe someone has other ideas....
It’s clearly not made for ease of use. Frequent removal and reinstall of the hitch cover with those cheap plastic tabs that hold it in place won’t end well. As is it’s a PITA.
Those are good as a step and also a little extra bumper protection. I had one that I used on my 4Runner to access the roof rack easier.Any reason you don’t wanna just keep it off? I put this step on the hitch.
