CT5-V Removing Tow Hook Cover

[Badillac]

Hoping for some advice here. Has anyone gotten either their front or rear tow hook cover w/out issue? I tried a bit but can't seem to get it off unless I F-up my paint. Any input is appreciated- thanks!

Have you checked the owner's manual? I'd assume there are instructions somewhere in it.

Not much, other than the obvious...

Carefully open the cover in the fascia
by using the small notch that conceals
the tow eye socket.

When
the tow eye is removed, reinstall the
cover with the notch in the original
position.

If you don't have them invest in good set of plastic or delrin trim tool set. Won't inflict damage to painted parts as opposed to using a screwdriver

On the CT4 I can stick my hand in the air duct and pop it out from behind. There are 2 tabs on the bottom- use your fingers to push up on tab and press out.

I was going to say this or wrap tape around a very small flat screwdriver and try that.

Trim tool sets are cheap investment and you will be amazed at how handy they are.

Agreed, I have a couple of them!
