    I found this in the tool kit under the spare tire. I've never seen it before and have no clue what it's for.

    It's labeled as a "holder" from the tool kit.

    I believe that's what the manual says to do. It does come out pretty easy.

    Yup the manual says how to pop that tow hook cover out. Believe it or not I actually read the manual front to back for every new car I get.

    Still trying to figure out what that thing does tho
