Most modern passenger cars keep the hook hidden behind a panel to preserve their sleek design, unlike larger trucks that display hooks openly. However, this subtle cover could be a lifesaver when you’re in a pinch. Just pop it off gently, twist in the hook tightly, and your vehicle is ready to be pulled without damage.
Some vehicles feature this cover on both the front and rear bumpers, while others may only have one. If the cover is missing, replacements are widely available and easy to install. So, the next time you spot that small bumper panel, remember it’s not just plastic; it’s a built-in escape plan when trouble hits the road.
