Wrong dust cover for tow hitch?

[luckyruby]

I have a 90D with towing package (VIN 3xxx, April delivery). My dust cover looks different than what's in the manual and from pics I've seen like Bonnie's Sig 2. Did I get the wrong cover or did they update the design?

That's what mine looks like too. I believe they swapped fastener after early builds.

It must be an upgraded design. I must have an older one, because mine only has one fastener- which, by the way, is hard to use when trying to replace the cover.

Are those pins easy to remove? They look like the ones holding the front -under-bumper cover which are not meant for frequent use. The original single difficult to use pin has a slot so it can be turned with the hitch key.

I was told this is an updated design. The clips are not hard to remove, although require the use of a small flat screwdriver to lift the heads out of the fastener. This seems more secure than the single twist locking fastener.

I keep a small flathead screwdriver with my hitch which makes the pins easy to remove.

Yup. That's what mine looks like too.

In the August 2018 version of the Manual, it still shows the original design for the dustcover. I was surprised to see the different design and then shocked to find this very old thread. One might think they'd have caught the Manual up by now.
