Finished with Flakey Hook-er

Wife pointed out some rust on one of my front tow hooks. Checked it and when i touched the hook with my finger a chunk of chrome flaked off. Nice. Checked the other hook and the inside seemed really rough. Went to a local dealer and they are ordering 2 new hooks under warranty.

Just an FYI, you may want to check your hooks for rust/finish issues.

Had the same issue on my 2010.
The dealer advised some chrome polish and protectant to keep them looking good.
I have been doing this on my 2015 and so far so good.
