Purpose and technical function

The presented towing eye is a component from the Bumper inserts and covers group, designed to work with the factory towing socket hidden behind the bumper plug. Once screwed into the prepared structural point, it enables:

• safe vehicle towing after a breakdown or collision,
• stable securing during loading onto a tow truck,
• controlled extraction of the car from areas with limited traction.

Thanks to the properly selected thread and shank length, the towing eye works with the vehicle's factory structural support, transferring loads in the manner intended by the vehicle manufacturer.

Construction and functional features

The towing hook features a classic eyelet design, allowing for quick attachment of a rope, strap, or rigid tow bar. The ergonomic shape of the eyelet makes it easy to handle while wearing work gloves, and the massive metal construction ensures adequate strength against forces acting during towing.

The element is designed as a temporarily mounted part – screwed in only when needed. As a result, it remains hidden behind the bumper cover during daily use, without affecting the vehicle's appearance or aerodynamics.

Condition and benefits of use

The offered product is used, which allows you to combine original fitment with an attractive price compared to brand-new components. It retains the functionality required for safe towing, making it a practical solution both as standard equipment and as a spare part to carry in the trunk.

Using an original towing hook instead of universal replacements reduces the risk of thread issues, mounting play, or improper load transfer to the body structure. This is particularly important in emergency situations where reliable and predictable vehicle behavior is essential.

Fitment by numbers and selection support

The item has a dedicated OEM part number and associated interchangeable numbers, which facilitates precise verification of compatibility with a specific body version and model year. When selecting, it is worth comparing the markings with service documentation or the existing part to ensure that the thread, length, and geometry meet the requirements of the given model.
