Front Tow Hook Cover Gone

I just noticed that the tow hook cover disappeared. I know I didn’t hit anything so either it popped off on its own or someone pulled it off(?). Anyone else lose theirs?

Mine fell off just a few weeks after the dealer replaced it. I want to replace it but I don't want to buy another just to have it fall off again.

Ya. Maybe it’s the heat. Will see if the dealer is cooperative

Put a dab of clear silicon around the inside to hold it in place.

the only reason the dealer replaced mine was that it was missing when I purchased the vehicle but they were nice enough to provide me with one. Otherwise I would have had to pay out of pocket.

Put a tow hook in there instead. Looks cool, adds HP and you can get them in colors!

Mine was constantly loose or falling off from the day they I got the car.. Got tired of putting it back on, then one day it was gone for good. I bought a replacement from Outmotoring which seems to fit a lot better and have had no problems with it since, even with regularly running it through the car wash.
