Tow Hook Storage Location?

Passed Driver's Ed
Where does the tow hook go? Mine came just sitting in the hatch side pocket at delivery. Looked all over the hatch/spare tire area and can't seem to find a cutout place to store it. Where does it go?

Mine was wedged between the spare and the inside taillight section. There is no "nice" place for it as far as I know.

I've had my 2017 GTI for a couple of weeks now, and I too cannot figure out where to store the screw-in towing eye! Mine was delivered with it inside one of the two side storage compartment in the trunk, but it is loose and bops around during driving.

mine fit in the Styrofoam packing that holds the jack kit. Good luck getting the kit out w/o it breaking.

Yes, it goes in the foam block. Separate the two halves and theres a spot there (out of memory)

I can't find a tow hook in my 2018 GTI S. There's not one in the jack foam, and there's not one in the roadside assistance kit. Are any 18 owners able to locate their tow hooks?
