How to Open the Tow Hook Cover on Baojun 730?
3 Answers
The location is at the lower part of the bumper. The position covered by a round or square cover here is where the vehicle's tow hook is located. Generally, you can press repeatedly around the perimeter of the tow hook cover to find an angle to press it open. Find a small flathead screwdriver and carefully pry it open along the edges. It's best to wrap it with a cloth to prevent paint damage.
My own Baojun 730 has a tow hook cover right below the rear bumper. The first time I tried opening it, I gently pried it open from the edge with my hand—it was actually quite simple. There's usually a small gap on the cover; you can insert your finger or a small tool like a flathead screwdriver into the edge of the gap and slowly push or pry it open. Avoid pulling it forcefully, as this might damage the clips. If it gets stuck accidentally, try pressing the center of the cover to see if there's a hidden push-release design. During regular maintenance, it's recommended to clean off dust to prevent the cover from getting clogged with dirt, making it easier to open. Don't panic if you encounter issues—most of the time, you can handle it yourself.
As a car enthusiast who often helps friends with car repairs, the trailer hook cover on the Baojun 730 is typically a plastic cap fixed onto the bumper, and opening it involves locating the right spot and gently prying it open. First, squat down at the rear of the car and look for the small cover at the center bottom of the bumper—the gap is small but clearly visible. Then, use your fingernail or a thin tool to insert and slightly flip it outward; the cover will pop open with a snap. If it feels tight, the clips might be rusty—apply a bit of lubricant and try again. Remember not to do this on rainy days to avoid slipping and damaging the cover. Regularly check if the cover's sealing strip is aging, as rainwater seepage can make it stick more easily.
