Towing eye cover

The towing eye of the car is a part that you would rather not use. However, it can happen that you are stranded along the road and that you have to be towed away. In this case it is useful to know where the towing eye cover is located. The towing eye covers are in most cases incorporated in the  chassis, under the bumper or in the bumper itself. When you remove the towing eye cover, the space is released into which the towing eye can be turned. Have you lost the cap while towing?

The towing eye is an important part of the car and hopefully you won't need to use it often. Do you need to be towed or are you going to tow someone yourself? Then it is useful to know where the towing eye covers are located. The towing eye is a ring-shaped part that can be screwed into the  chassis or bumper of the car. The towing eye cover ensures that this space is nicely shielded so that it looks nicely finished from the outside. The towing eye covers are located on both the front and rear of the vehicle. Which side to use depends on whether you have to drag or be dragged.

Where is the towing eye cover?

The towing eye cover is located on the front and rear of most cars. Are you going to drag someone? Then turn the towing eye into the rear of the car. When you are being towed, the towing eye goes in the front of the car. The towing eye cover is often incorporated under the bumper or in the bumper. The cover can be recognized by the small round or square bulge in the left or right side of the car bumpers. Can't find the caps? Then look in the owner's manual of your car to find out where the caps can be found.

Also useful to know: the towing eye of the car can generally be found in the spare wheel or in the compartments of the  boot. Check where your vehicle's towing eye is located so that you can always find it quickly in case you get stuck on the road.

Remove towing eye cover

Have you found the towing eye cover and do you want to remove it? This is generally very easy. Some caps have a marking. When this mark is pressed, the cap will come off. Doesn't the cap come off this way? Then you will have to jack it off with a  screwdriver or other flat object. This does not require much force.
