Tesla Model 3 tow hitch cover screws / fixings / fasteners

thingiverse

A solution to a minor niggle I had using the towbar on a European Model 3 which has an access hatch under the back of the car for the quick hitch. I use the towball quite a lot and the slot in the cover retaining screws were getting chewed up as the most convenient thing to hand was usually the small red key for the tow hitch lock. This part is a direct replacement for the Tesla OEM fastners which are easily removed and then you can work these ones with your fingers. I've printed them in PLA and they seem to be working fine so far but for long term use I expect that ABS is better.
