Tow Hook Eye Cover

Front, Rear, Left, or Right Tow Hook Cover?

A tow hook cover is shaped for a specific bumper opening. Options can be front or rear and may be assigned to the driver or passenger side. Locate the missing cover and use that exact position before considering color or trim. A rear-left cover will not necessarily share the same tabs or contour as a front-right cap, even on the same vehicle.

Front Bumper Tow Hook Eye Cover: On the Bumper or Lower Grille?

Toyota RAV4 applications illustrate why the opening location matters. Some front passenger covers fit an opening on the bumper cover, while another version is identified for the lower grille. Both may belong to Japan-built RAV4 models, but they attach to different front-end sections. Identify where the opening is located rather than choosing from the model name alone.

Single Tow Hook Eye Cap or Driver-and-Passenger Pair

Tow hook eye caps are sold as single side-specific pieces and as driver-and-passenger pairs. A pair can be useful when both front or rear openings need covers, while one missing cap calls for the correct single side. Note the package quantity and positions together. A two-piece set should not be assumed to cover any combination of openings on the vehicle.

Check Build Origin, Trim, Hybrid, and Body Style

Build origin, trim, hybrid status, and body style can narrow fitment. Certain RAV4 covers are identified for Japan-built vehicles, while a Corolla Cross application is limited to L, LE, and XLE trims and excludes Hybrid models. Mazda 6 rear covers use a sedan condition. Apply these details only to the specified part, since they are not shared by every tow hook cover.

Color and Finish Checks Before Installation

Black or gloss-black descriptions refer to the supplied finish, not a guaranteed match to every vehicle's paint. Use the stated color and surface, then look at the surrounding panel. Do not assume that a black or gloss-black cover has been paint-matched to the vehicle. Shape, tabs, and opening location remain the primary fitment factors.
