tongue coupler problem
Just discovered I have a problem with my coupler not seating down properly. Result is I now cannot slip my padlock through it, to keep the hinged part from dislodging up. Note in picture "A" points to the tip that should drop down into the slots. "B" points to the through holes for the padlock, which now are not alligned. So, that hinged visor now will not drop down enough.
Evidently something somehow got bent out of shape, just barely enough to prevent a proper seating engagement. See no sign of how or what happened. Online coupler repair kits do not address this Escape coupler design... only the straight Curt coupler type. Anyone know what manufacturer produces our coupler? Seeing no way to remove that drop-down visor. Failing that I may try applying ball-peen-hammer persuasion. (Probably a good way to ruin it.)
