Let us know how it works after the first tow. I'd be cautious

Here is what your failhook will look like after a few weeks.






On top of what you can see there, you will also experience crappy threads which don't mate well with the stock tow hook receptacle.

well, are tow hooks really supposed to be just screwed on and driven around every day in the rain?
I think the makers thought you "might" keep it in your trunk until you need it.
Not hang out with your **** out.


btw no tow hook here either and mine cannot be used unless I take off my bumper since the metal is on upside down lol.

Concave, I have the OEM hook on my track car, which has sat out in the rain plenty of times... Still looks like it always did. If you didnt care what the hook looked like, and were only going to use it when you needed it, then why would you be looking at a folding tow hook in the first place?

Please dont make excuses for a piece of **** product. That is the bottomline.
