This rear bumper fascia trailer tow hitch cover (part number
1565583-22-B) is custom-fit for 2021–2024 Tesla Model S vehicles,
precisely matching the contour of the rear bumper’s tow hitch
opening. Its core role is twofold: functionally, it seals the hitch
mounting hole to block road debris (gravel, mud), rainwater, and
dust from entering the under-rear area—preventing corrosion of the
hitch hardware and damage to nearby sensors (e.g., rear parking
sensors). Aesthetically, it blends seamlessly with the rear bumper
fascia, restoring the Model S’s sleek, unbroken rear-end look
(hiding the exposed hitch opening when the tow hitch is not in use)
and matching the vehicle’s factory design language.
Crafted from OEM-grade ABS plastic with a matte black textured
finish, the cover balances durability and lightweight performance
(weight ≤80g). It resists UV fading (passes 500-hour ASTM G154 UV
tests, no discoloration) and road salt corrosion, suitable for
long-term use in coastal or snowy regions. The material also has
slight impact resistance—avoiding cracking from minor bumps (e.g.,
accidental contact with a parking block) while maintaining shape
stability.
Installation is tool-free and takes 5–10 minutes: first, clean the
hitch opening’s surrounding area with isopropyl alcohol to remove
oil and dust; if replacing an old cover, gently pry it out with a
trim tool (avoid scratching the bumper); align the new cover’s
snap-in clips with the bumper’s mounting slots, then push firmly
until it "clicks" into place—no adhesive or screws needed. The
tight snap fit ensures it won’t loosen during high-speed driving
(up to 200km/h) or heavy rain.
After-sales support includes a 2-year warranty (covers
manufacturing defects like broken clips or cracked plastic,
excluding damage from improper prying or collision) and practical
packaging: 1 piece per pack (wrapped in scratch-resistant film) to
avoid surface damage during transport. For repair shops or Tesla
service centers, bulk packs (25 pieces/box) are available, ensuring
consistent quality for every 2021–2024 Model S application. This
cover is a cost-effective solution to keep the rear bumper
functional and visually neat, aligning with the Model S’s premium
identity.
