The panel on my car has popped of multiple times. The design to keep it on is not great. It got lost on a trip to Houston and back. So I have to go to the dealership to get a replacement.
I dreading the quote from the dealer.

It would have been much better to install a lock cylinder in the liftgate and put the LVB in back
My mother's RAV 4 hybrid has battery in the truck, but no lock. You have to jump the car to get to the battery. In fact, most cars only have lock cylinder on the driver door only. And all the bad ideas (I'm thinking PAAK, etc) spread like wild fire.

The cover popped for me every time I go to the carwash, last time it got ripped out.

Ordered the cover on fordparts.com it cost me $20 Tow Hook Cover - Front | FordUS
Now for the paint (mine is Shadow Black), I ordered this kit for another $20 Touch Up Paint | ScratchesHappen
And job done :) This new part actually holds better and does not pop easily.
