If it helps I can video the action of attaching, locking, unlocking & removing the bar...let me know.

I'd hugely appreciate it if you can post a video of this please. I am struggling to get anywhere when trying to remove the towbar. I bought the car (model late 2017) second hand and didn't fit the bar so unsure if it has seized and exactly what directions to push or pull the different bits. The directions are printed in the boot but it's still not clear to me... Many thanks, Torbjörn

If it can wait, I can do this over the weekend.

Hello
I posted a video link on page 4 of this thread, post #31.
The video is still on YouTube so it's still viewable.
