Missing piece on lower grill.....

Well, I was just out for lunch and noticed that the spot with the little square cut in is, no longer has it's cover. Does anyone know how that piece comes off? I am trying to figure out how I lost it, and if it's possible it is still in the bumper some how. I didn't have much light too peer in there.

If you're talking about the tow hook cover, mine has popped out a few times, luckily its just been when its in the garage or out on my driveway. I dont think its possible for it to go inside the bumper.

Could you post a pic?

I can't determine if you are talking about the lower grills or what NotUrG mentioned.. And doesn't the tow cover have a cord that keeps it from being completely removed?? If this is what you're talking about I don't think its able to just 'fall off' might have been pulled.

It's the little sqaure piece of lower grill that is toward the passenger side of the lower grill. It isn't on there right now.

Ok that is the tow hook cover, I didn't see any cords on this one so looks like it has just fallen off. Probably a $40 part so give your dealer a call and order a new one.

Or they can give it to me....

I only have 1900 miles on my car. It shouldn't fall off that easy. I hope this isn't a reoccurring thing.

If you bump into something or if something bumps into you it may fall out. Sometimes the little folk like to pop those out as a little keepsake. Call your dealer for a replacement, it's no big deal, or just pop one out of another car and keep passing the love around

it has a little piece that hooks it to the car if it pops off, which shouldbe hard to do because it took about 100 pounds of force to pop it in.

Mine was in the trunk with the fron plate bracket.

Thanks for the offer lazy! Luckily the dealership ordered me a new one. I also went in to have them fix my TPMS light because it has been on solid for since I got the car 2 months ago. I got about 5 miles down the road and BAM right back on solid again. Looks like when I go have them put the part back in, they'll be fixing my light again. Annoying!

Definitely. If it's falling out on it's own it's a defect and should be replaced.
