Anyone else have thier front bumper tow hook popping off and or having to press it back in?

[JustinHEMI]

Not my front, but washing my car one day, I noticed my rear one was popped out a bit.

And, it popped out during my accident.

Let the “made in Mexico” quality observations begin …

So no one else having this issue… ????

Over 6,000 miles on mine so far, no problems with the covers (along the way: several self service car washes (found a good one in Asheville but it took a week of trial and error, I live in Central FL), heavy rain, and triple digit speeds). I did take the rear cover off to see how it worked, had to put it back on a certain way to fit snug. My service advisor said this is a common "feature". I don't know if replacement covers are available yet, but the next time I go to the dealer (nice free breakfast) I will inquire.

Thanks, yes mine pops out after a mins.. and everytime I walk up to it I press it in.. ky son asked me why I’m doing that so I told him it’s a special boost button and makes the car faster 😝

Tell him it is so that he will press it back in for you so you don't have to. Problem solved.

Mine has never popped out. And that's with me adding and removing a tow hook licence plate holder a couple times. It takes a bit of a push to click in, but once in, it stays put.

Never had an issue but I do notice the design is a bit flawed, it looks flimsy. The 135i was snug and flush. The G87’s seems like an afterthought.

I maybe calling it wrongly.. it’s the one in the front …. I have tried adjusting it, and it clicks and everything. QA issue maybe..

Here is how it looks


And five seconds later…

Yeah, that seems like a defect. The "tight side" is the top, it should be popping free from the bottom (where the arrow is), not the top. At least, that's how mine works.

My rear one will pop out a little and not sit flush. What I did is put a tiny bit of 3m tape and it is not going anywhere now.

Use a hair dryer or a heat gun and warm up the tabs on the clip a bit and gently bend them outwards a bit for a tighter fit. Do not go overboard, better to heat, bend, and repeat as needed.
