Love that device! And would order but mine fits just fine in the UMC bag.

Just sayin.

The recent review of amazon tow hook holder (same vendor) is that - it does not hold the tow hook in place.

For those who recently ordered, what was your experience?

 

[davezforce]

I have it. It definitely holds it in place for me.

Lol, haven’t seen these posts of mine in almost 3 years... as for keeping the towing ‘eye’ in the frunk, the odds of the car being so disabled you can’t open the trunk to get to the UMC are low. But yeah the original intent was to keep the eye in the frunk. You sometimes wonder about Tesla continuity when items like this (the floor storage cutout) get lost in the redesign.

A reminder to all to test your towing eye as the paint on the threads can make it hard to screw in the first time and you probably don’t want to have the first time be in the middle of the night when in the boondocks. And remember it’s a left hand thread!

Mine stays in place fine with it.

Thanks for the tip on the test fit !

I just took delivery and asked the delivery specialist. He also said that it is just supposed to set up in the cavity in the front. Very weird... everything else has a home but the tow "hook" is just supposed to flop around. (And ironically is probably the least likely to get used)

Where would we actually screw the tow hook into? Normally the vehicles have this square on the front bumper you pop out... the X does not...
I bought a used X from Tesla and it is missing everything that was loose so of course the tow hook is also missing. Not sure if I should bother getting it because I have literally never heard of anyone using it.... ?

Resurrecting this chain. Just took delivery of a model year 2020 and unable to figure out where the tow hook stows in the frunk. Does it just sit freely in this slot behind the bumper?

When I opened the trunk for the first time the tow hook was sitting on the floor so I'm assuming the slot is not a good place for it as it will move?

TIA

Where is correct place to store this for 2020 model?

Post #32 has a link that shows what to put in the cubbies of your Frunk to hold the hook. Worked very nicely for me 3+ years so far.

I personally never found a solution. I ended up keeping it in the charger bag with some other misc. car parts.

It's cool now to paint it day-glow, install it and leave it.
