Hidden Car Feature: The Secret Purpose of Those Bumper Covers
Car Bumper Covers: More Than Just Aesthetics Querétaro, Mexico – June 9, 2025 – Many car owners may be unaware of the purpose of the small, round covers often found on their vehicle's front and rear bumpers. A recent short video by Sam Ugalde (@ugaldecars) clarifies this common automotive mystery. The video demonstrates that these covers conceal a crucial safety feature: a tow hook attachment point. Ugalde clearly shows how to remove the cover to reveal a threaded hole designed to accept a large bolt. This bolt, usually stored in the vehicle's trunk, provides a secure point for attaching a tow strap or chain. This allows for safe towing in case of a breakdown or accident. "Muy fácil," Ugalde explains in the video, demonstrating the ease with which the tow hook can be deployed. "Very easy." The video's simple, practical demonstration makes it a valuable resource for car owners, highlighting a safety feature that is often overlooked. Understanding the function of these covers can provide peace of mind and preparedness in unexpected situations.
