    I'm having problems getting the tow hook in fully. Seems that driving it in the rain has caused it to rust up.

    Any idea how to fix it?

    Tried WD40 and it worked a little, but still does'nt go in fully.

    If your hole is rusted closed, you're not screwing frequently enough, or hard enough.















    but seriously...

    get a wire brush, and clean it out... that'll usually do the trick
