Ran into a little mishap over the weekend, where I was forced to drive in a bit of snow.. didn't really work lol. Ran off the road, and was going to have someone pull me out with thier truck..

I took out the tow fitting, took off the cover to access the front tow socket, and it was empty.. nothing to screw the fitting into..

Anyone ever run into this issue?

The back has the socket, but for some reason, the front doesn't..

Although I've never actually looked inside my front cover, I assume that there should be some threads behind there to screw the tow hook into. Are you the original owner of the car? If not, I'm wondering if someone did some bodywork on the front and didn't replace all the parts...
