    Default Rear Tow Cover Install

    I tried a search for "rear tow cover" and did not find an answer.

    I received a new rear tow cover from Bavarian Auto today and went to install it, but it doesn't want to stay in place. Are there supposed to be little clips that go into the top of the cover?

    Yeah, those creamers don't include the clips for whatever reason... Yet they still charge $18.95 + $9.95 shipping for the damned thing.

    Argh.

    Anyone know where I can get the clips? I guess I'll ask the dealer when I go to pick up my new ignition lock barrel this week.

    I got mine from Bavauto and it came with the 2 plastic piecese that look like to arrows ( ------> ) which insert into the top 2 holes inside the opening for the tow hitch on the bumper. Mine didn't stay either, the issue with mine was that one of the holes on the bumper was snapped off. I went ahead and super-glued it on. It's been on there fine, without a problem for 4 months now. I figure, if I need to use it, I'll just pop it out, and super glue back.
