Default Any help? I’ve had an item apparently stolen from my lease Mazda 3 series 2018

Hi all,

not car savvy at all, but my Mazda 3 series leased in 2018 which I love. Has had one of the two.... plugs? Taken.
my dad thinks they’re tow plugs, but when I search to try and buy and replace nothing is appearing.

does anyone know what these plugs are? There are two at the rear either side of the reg plate, and I need to replace otherwise the lease company will just charge me and arm and a leg.

any help or advice is massively appreciated thanks guys

Kate

Call your local Mazda dealership; they should be able to help.

If you are referring the the round holes in the bumper they are called Tow Hook Cover or Tow Bracket Cover.

You should be able to get them aftermarket at least here in USA there are a few suppliers other then the dealer that can be ordered?
I purchased a new OEM rear bumper and these were not included and had to order extras.

As an example only:

On my 2018 Mazda 3 used the Tow hook covers as the filler, plastic welded them in place to eliminated both the holes and the "can-open" reflectors.
