Fabia Mk4 Towing Eye

The Fabia Mk4 Owner's Manual has the following advice on fitting the towing eye to the car's front or rear.

This guidance is 100% accurate, but, if a Mk4 owner ever has to do this, it may be worth highlighting that, when the appropriate side of the plastic 'cap' is pressed (arrow with 1 on it) the cap's opposite side only moves up a very small amount and (unless you have fingernails like Count Dracula's) it will be necessary to prise up that side of the cap quite forcefully with a suitable tool (and very carefully to avoid damaging the cap's and/or bumper's paintwork).

The cap is attached to the bumper with a thin hard-plastic 'tether', so it won't fly off when it comes free. I found it reasonably easy to remove the complete rear cap+tether from the rear bumper for cleaning, but lack of space meant I could not do the same with the front cap. To aid subsequent removal I rubbed some wax polish paste over the rear of the caps.
