How to remove tow hitch cover

jeff408 · 09-29-2015, 10:26 PM

I just got a 13 335i and want to install a front plate in tow hitch area. Anyway I have searched and tried to remove it also and don't want to mess up the paint. How does this cover come off?

Just a thought but try pushing on one edge of it... lol yes i realize its a circle. If not maybe a suction cup like from a go pro mount or something?

Push in the top corner left or right, it will get loose. Then pull it out

push on the top corner and it'll pop out

use your finger so the paint doesn't scratch
