My frunk floor has some rust above the tow hook/under the spare tire hold down. I got looking at it and one of the holes appeared to be formed from the point of the tow hook. Was this originally a depression in the frunk floor created for locating/by the point of the tow hook? Here's a pic from the originality forum showing what looks like a locating recess or hole where the end of the tow hook rests... you have to look closely to see it but it's there... I'm guessing I just replace the rusty metal with a flat piece and the tow hook will recreate this 'relief' if necessary but curious if anyone knows if this is intentional or if there's more to this than I think.

If I'm not mistaken there is a second rubber drain tube (with a very specific design and shape) that goes there.. at least that's what I installed on my last build.

Unintentional. The tow hook can be too long depending upon your spare tire & how it's held in place. |

Interesting, thanks! That’ll make replacing the metal in that spot a little bit easier.
