Front Tow Hook Mount
I was wondering if anyone knows on what part that the front tow hook is mounted onto. Whether its the Bumper reinforcement piece. Thanks

right below pass side headlight there is a 2"x2" rectangular cover that needs to be removed in order for the tow hook to be attached to the front bumper (reinforcement) bar

LOL yea I know where its location is at.. My question was what the threads were attached to.. So it is the bumper reinforcement? I saw a picture of one online, and I didnt see it on there.. So i needed to make sure..

The bumper piece that goes from side to side has a hole through it and the tow hook screws into a threaded insert in right side piece that the bumper mounts to.

I am a relatively new Yaris owner and the "Tow Hook" has always had me wondering. Is it really bad for a tow truck to tow a Yaris the conventional way ?
I just have never seen a car with something called a tow hook. (especially only having 1 tow hook .. ) Maybe someone can explain how the car is towed via the tow hook. I have always seen tow trucks just lift the vehicle underneath the front wheels. |

Really appreciate the picture CTscott.. Thats what I was hoping for.. Im pretty sure thats called the bumper reinforcement.. I was in a minor fender bender a while ago, and i cant stress enough that it was minor.. I went to put in the tow hook earlier today and the tow hook was pointing upward at a 30 degree-ish angle, no way i was going to be able thread it through the whole.. The bumper isnt that far damaged so i was assuming that piece was knocked a little outta whack.. But the force of impact was so small, I was actually surprised..

I don't recall 100% off the top of my head, but IIRC they looked pretty straight forward to swap out...I thought they unbolted or something, but I could be way off on that.

Hey Mazilla I think you are correct.. Looks like it just unbolts.. im not sure if anything mounts to it though ie radiator or whatever.. Im sure I saw a wire loom attached to it, but other than that.. Straight forward.. From what CTscott was saying, this is probably going to be where the problem is but I really need to get the bumper off to check confirm..
**just looked at the picture above, duh, yes there is a wire loom attached haha**
