2022 X3 tow hitch cover issue
Good morning. For the past two weeks I've noticed that my tow hitch cover seems to be loose and will pop out from time to time. Has anybody else notices to be an issue. There has been no damage to the bumper, nothing was hit however just seems to not fit correctly.

Is this the black plastic square piece that fits over the open receiver end?

It's rubber. It dries out and shrinks. Things wear out with use as well.
Should bring it up with your SA and they will probably lemon the whole car.

I don't think that should happen especially since you have a '22 model. On my '19, I've never had the cover come loose.

Make sure the two bumps on the cover are on the bottom and it shouldn’t move. My X5 is a year and a half old and my X3 is six months old with no issues.

Heat the inside edges with a heat gun and expand them slightly.

I think half the posters thought you were referring to the trailer tow hitch cover. Not the plastic cover in your picture
