Tow Socket Cover
Hi
I never liked the design of the towing socket cover.
I always end up lying under with a coin to release clips, then I throw it in the boot until finished towing.
I modified it with a couple of stainless hinges, bumper clips and stainless clips.
Might not to be to everyone's taste but solves my pet hate.
Few pics added.

Looks a neat and tidy job that.
Does it not flap around like ba5tard when you have the towing electrics plugged into the socket underneath though?Jim

I just took it off and left it off, same with the front recovery point cover.
I just cut out the bit that obscures the 13-pin socket, which permanently houses a 2x7-pin adaptor, and leave it on all the time. Took longer to find my hacksaw than do it.A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.
