  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Hi I just noticed there are actually 2 tow hooks in the trunk where the spare tire and tools are ? The one with the longer thread is in the form fitted foam so its secure. The second one (the one I put on the top of the tire to take a picture) is shorter thread (total length and size identical to the other one) but it just rest on top of the jack and not secure down ? Also it has a sticker that says "disposal" ??

The only reason I noticed is I heard some noise when going over bumps etc and started investigating if its suspension noise etc and found that.

I dont even know where the tow hook supposed to screw in to, and does it need 2 so one has to front, the other goes to back. If it does, only 1 of them is secured down in the trunk space ??

That's nice to have 2 :cool:. Maybe it was used to secure the vehicle during transport on the ship... but they could have used the supplied tow hook. It doesn't look used at all on my car. Or maybe they used BOTH tow hook locations? Interesting saga. Ha ha. Anyway, my car only has the styrofoam tray identical to yours (sans the 2nd tow hook). And just checked, and it has tow hooks front and back, which is required in Europe, I believe (but not in the US).
 
Looking to update and upgrade your Genesis luxury sport automobile? Look no further than right here in our own forum store - where orders are shipped immediately!
Ah maybe cuz the car was delivered with the jewel box delivery and that’s why they secured it front and back at the time. That may be it !
 
Never heard of 'jewel box delivery'. What is that? And where do you live? You should put it in your profile, to know which market you're in.
 

don’t think they do that anymore in Canada. they did it when first launch in 2018
