About part number 86674AT050

A rear bumper tow eye cover is a small protective trim piece that clips into the rear bumper panel. It covers the threaded access point used for the emergency towing eye, keeping dirt, road spray, and grit out of the towing point while maintaining the smooth appearance of the vehicle's bodywork.

To check that this cover is correct for your vehicle, you must match the part number 86674AT050 directly with the number stamped on the back of your original cover or listed in your service documentation. Original manufacturer numbers are usually moulded into the inner plastic face of the cap, and matching this number ensures the correct shape, size, and mounting clip alignment.

These covers are commonly replaced because they drop out after an impact, get lost during vehicle recovery, or have their retaining clips snapped during removal. When fitting a replacement cover, you may need bodywork paint or plastic primer if you intend to colour-match the piece to the surrounding bumper.

  • Part type: Bumpers & Reinforcements.
  • Specification: country of origin Korea, South.
  • Position on the vehicle: Rear.

About this kind of part: tow eye covers

A tow eye cover is the small painted flap or cap that hides the threaded towing point in a bumper. It is the smallest painted part on the outside of a car and the most frequently lost, because it is held by one or two plastic tabs and a short tether, and because it is removed only in the kind of situation where nobody is looking after small parts. It is painted to match the car, so a replacement either arrives in the correct colour already or needs spraying.

Why people replace one

  • The cover has been lost after a recovery or a tow, which is what almost all of them are replaced for.
  • A tab has snapped and the cover no longer clips flat, so it rattles or falls out at speed.
  • The tether has broken and the cover was dropped and not found.
  • A jet wash has lifted an unclipped cover out of the bumper.
  • The paint no longer matches because the cover is a different age from the bumper around it.

Fitting it

  • It pushes in from the outside until the tabs engage, and it comes out by pressing one edge in and easing the other out.
  • Where there is a tether, it hooks to a lug moulded inside the bumper opening before the cover is pushed home.
  • Fit it cold-side-out and press on the edges rather than the middle, which is where a stiff cover cracks.
  • A cover supplied in primer needs the paint code from the car's own identification plate to match the bumper.

Making sure it is the right one

  • Match the part number. The front cover and the rear cover of the same car are different parts, and so are the covers of different trim levels on one model.
  • Compare the shape of the opening, not just the size. A cover is contoured to the curve of the bumper it sits in and will not sit flat in a different one.
  • Check the tab pattern and whether yours has a tether lug. These change between a facelift and the version before it.
  • If the cover is supplied painted, treat the colour as a starting point rather than a match, because a used painted part has aged with its own car.

What to look for in the photographs

A Part number — Moulded into the inside face. On a part this small it is often the only way to tell two covers apart.
B Tabs — The clips around the inside edge. Check each one is whole, because a single broken tab is what loses the cover.
C Tether lug — The small loop or peg for the tether, where the car has one. Its presence or absence is part of what you are matching.
D Curvature — Look at the cover from the side. It is shaped to one bumper's curve, and a flat photograph hides that completely.
E Face finish — Whether it is painted or in primer, and how the paint has worn. This is the lowest, most stone-blasted part of the car.
