BMW Flap Towing Eye??

lydiapurnama · 06-06-2009, 04:59 PM

Hey everyone.
I just ordered a flap towing eye cover today for my BMW 328i Coupe cause I lost it. This is actually the second time. I don't know whether somebody stole it (does anybody have any idea why somebody would have stolen a flap towing eye????) or whether it's fallen off.
I've read some threads and it might fall off due to the high pressure during the car wash. When I ordered it today, somebody told me that he glued it in cause people steal that a lot.
What kind of glue should I use? Any other methods to prevent the lost of the flap towing eye cover? Please HELP!!! Thank you

well if you never plan on towing it, just super glue it i guess.

i dont recommend you glue it. just find a replacement, i doubt theyre too costly

Well the last time I replaced it 3-4 months ago it was around $40. Since I lost it again, right now I'm paying about $50-$60. SOO.. It IS costly.
