Trunk floor hitch mount is dangerous and unwise, despite whatever stories people wish to invent. Sheet metal is not an acceptable place to attach anything that you wish to have stay attached to the car.

Search this forum for hitches, there is at least one out there with some excellent answers to attaching a hitch to a 126, safely.
