I bought one from O'Reily's a couple years ago for my
'86 Cabriolet (same as '82 Rabbit below the beltline)
It simply bolted to the rear bumper after drilling a
couple holes.
I towed my 16 foot fiberglass boat with it a couple
times, though the 1.6 NA engine wasn't too happy. I
would say that was the very upper end of what could be
safely towed. Some may argue whether it was safe or
not, but it never hurt the car and I did drive *very*
conservatively. I had no problem towing a small
utility trailer with all sorts of heavy things on it.
If I could find something to fit the '92 Cabriolet
with it's bumper cover, I would be very happy.
Unfortunately everything I've found requires cutting
the cover up.
