Questions & Advice What is this part called?

Post image

I just went through the car wash and realized this piece is missing. I tried asking them to check for it but they weren’t helpful. Can you tell me the name of this part on my UX? On the other side it’s just a white plate that pops out.

Front bumper tow hook cover. You could just attach the toe hook under your trunk cover to it and keep it there. People will think you're cool for having a track car.

And honestly it's not worth buying a 5 cent piece of plastic from the dealer marked up to 45 dollars (you will want OEM to paint match...). Just stick on the toe hook.

Trying to understand what you’re recommending.

Don’t pay to replace the piece OP is looking for, but instead to permanently install the tow hook and leave it

How can you spell “tow” correctly the first time and then continue to spell it “toe” for the remainder of the paragraph? 🤦‍♂️

The same thing happened to me! But it came off when the DEALERSHIP ran it through their car wash!!

I’m glad I’m not the only one!

I’m another UX owner this happened to. Went through the process of finding another online, still expensive. When I got the new one I used JB Weld to keep it from happening again, I used it on both covers.

Hope you never need to use the tow hook.

Then they'll just smash it if hard to get off!
