Have the dealership install a Curt Spectrum brake controller. Unfortunately they did a garbage job of trimming the adhesive pad behind it. Not sure if I trust them to do it right if I take it back.

Does anyone have any recommendations for how I could trim this up so the adhesive isn't visible? I worry a box cutter will cut the trim piece behind it.20230301_164946.jpg

A good sharp blade and steady hand will trim that right up. It's all plastic behind there, so you'll be fine

It's got to be just screwed on there or something. Take it off, fix it and put it back on

The rotary knob just snaps into the base plate. I'd remove it, then remove the base plate and trim the gasket.

if you choose not to remove, a sharp blade at the correct angle will trim it right up.

just angle the blade to cut slightly into and behind the trim ring
