that's the cover that pops off, and exposes the hole in the bumper frame where you can screw in a tow hook :smile:

I thought that is the escape hatch for the gerbil in the event of an accident!

[cali yaris]

look in the vinyl bag that has your spare tire tools and you can see what that stock tow hook looks like -- they give you one!

FREEDOM!

[lita_g]

FREEDOM!

That looks more like a squirrel than a gerbil :biggrin:

[eTiMaGo]

it's a squirbil, half squirrel, half gerbil, 100% badass...

[Sodium Duck]

Well, that's what google images thinks a gerbil is, haha.

[gid]

it explains the towing in the owners manual .

[ChinoCharles]

LOL @ squirbil

[Sodium Duck]

This is fun!

[bikegerm]

Don't get caught opening that hole ! I've heard squirbel's are on the endangered species list ! If you free it, you might possibly hurt it.

[m911gt]

wow, you guys are ridiculous. hahaah.

[bobselectric]

No the squirbil was a rare engine upgrade for the 07 Hatch. If you have it and the NST Squirbel Pulley set and the Cute Animal Intake (available through Garm), you have one bad *ss Yarii

Ah I see now. First I thought it was meant to be a spool for my lil nephew's kite LOL. Thanks for the enlightenment:thumbsup:

Edit: what's a good way to pop it off without hurting the paint?

[1NZYaris1]

Use the little black Plastic flat blade thingy that looks something like a screw driver.
Failing that read owners manual:laugh::laugh::respekt:

[gid]

it's for the barrel of 50 caliber machine gun :wink: . SAY GOODBYE MR. HUMMER ! :biggrin:

Thanks, mate:thumbsup:

LOL it's man-law:

1. Try to figure out something on your own.
-or-
Ask for advice on what to do.
2. End up screwing up anyway.
3. Finally read manual to figure out what you did wrong.
4. Ask for advice on how to fix it.
5. Try not to look like a jackass.
