Porsche Tow Eye Cap - Genuine Porsche 982807499G2X

Product Information

A tow eye cap (also called a tow hook cover or tow eye cover) is a small removable panel or cover on a vehicle’s bumper or body panel that conceals the tow hook or tow eye mounting point. It’s designed to keep the tow point hidden for aesthetic purposes and to protect it from dirt, debris, and corrosion when not in use.

• Missing or Loose Cap: The cap may fall off or be lost easily, often due to broken clips or poor fitment.
• Cracked or Broken Cap: Impact with debris, car washes, or minor collisions can crack or damage the cover.
• Rattling Noise: A loose or damaged tow eye cap can cause rattling sounds while driving.

About Genuine Porsche

The original parts used by Porsche to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Porsche” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Porsche, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Porsche Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Porsche are not necessarily manufactured by Porsche. No cause for concern, as Porsche designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Porsche for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Porsche parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Porsche logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
