Tow hook/loop

Just bought two new 2005 Cooper S and neither came with one? Are they supposed to? If not where do you get them? All we found in the boot was the jack sack with a jack and lug wrench.

Lift up the carpet in the boot - the '05 MCS toolkits are in a black styrofoam box tucked on the side of the battery. A screwdriver, tow hook, sunroof closing allen, 10/13mm wrench, and hubcap removal key will be in there.

Every MINI came with one from the factory. There just in different places depending on year and model (cabrio/MC/MCS).

Tow hook and tools location in 04

In my Sept 03 built 2004 MCS, the tool pouch is in the left boot access panel. It is a plastic pouch that folds shut, then is held in place by a velcro strap. It has all the devices mentioned above.

Since the ONLY SAFE way to pull a MINI out of trouble or even onto a flat bed truck is by this loop, EVERY MINI comes with one. Your owners manual tells you where it is.

Look under "on board tool kit" in your owners manual.
