The floor jack and pin idea is good for getting the hitch in, but the top brackets need the back pushed up and in as the tail wants to sag away from the top edge of the car. |
After you get the hitch slid in, move the jack back and use it to lift the back of the boat tail. You can drill a shallow blind hole in one of the cross members, then get a rod or pin the right length and use the hole in the jack
again. Or make a Tee bracket out of pipe, cover the top of the Tee with foam pipe insulation so it won't slip or damage the tail, insert the bottom into the jack and jack away...
Spray foam can always be rasped into shape after it is fully cured. Unfortunately, it is damaged easily if it is not covered with fiberglass.
You will have to experiment with the weather stripping as there are many different types.
