When I installed mine several months ago, I was able to locate the cross member by pushing and tapping on the underbelly. I had the underbelly down today measuring for a bike carrier and noticed I was about 1/8" off from the center of the metal with the screws. There actually is not a true cross member in the rear. It is a metal floor joist with 1 1/2" wide angle iron on the bottom. The center of the angle iron is 3" from the edge of the rear cap.
I took a couple of pictures today that might help you, but forgot how to post them. Will try again to post them.
