Rear Tow Hook Cover Stolen
Hello,
I realized today that the rear tow hook cover on our 09 GL450 -- the little plastic thing on the rear bumper that covers where you would attach the towing screw -- was stolen at the local mall i think.
Has this happened to anyone else and does anyone know the part number for the replacement. Would rather not go to the local dealership (if i can avoid it).
thanks.

MBWorld Fanatic!
If you take it to the dealer...they probably won't do anything. My tow cover was also stolen a week after I bought my 2008 GL450 and the dealer would not take it out of a new vehicle...but then I bought a 2009 GL450 and it had the tow cap!!! 
Just order the part, it probably won't be expensive...its a little piece of plastic.
Good luck!
