    there is a tab on the side that you have to slide in (all the way!) then the top edge will pull back from the bumper. on mine the tab can be quite stiff and so can the cover even after cleaning and lubing.

    i dunno about the green stuff it's either that or coolant but yes that is the ac condensor - mine has always been toast.

    Default Tow hook cover?

    Spotted this thread and hope you dont mind my jumping in. I appear to have two covers in the rear sill - one is about 3x3" and the other is about 7x4". I havent removed either but guess the first one is indeed for the tow hook. The are no signs my car was ever fitted with a hitch but my guess is thats what the second one may be for. Any thoughts appreciated
