Mercedes Benz Genuine OE BQ631-00-05-2" Tow Hitch Cover

Husband likes the Mercedes cover, material, fit ease of use

Very nice and shipped quickly

Perfect fit and looks great

Okay, real talk: I have a GLE that can tow a small yacht, but 99.9% of the time the tow hitch is just sitting there… exposed. Like a sad, rusty belly button on an otherwise gorgeous German supermodel. Every time I walked past the back of the car I’d hear it whispering, “Bro… cover me. I’m cold. People are judging.” Enter the Mercedes-Benz Genuine OE 2” Tow Hitch Cover (part number so long it needs its own zip code: BQ631-00-05). Forty-five bucks for a square piece of plastic with a star on it. Forty-five American dollars! That’s two lattes a day for a week, or one decent bottle of wine. But did I hesitate? No. Because when the Amazon listing said “Genuine OE,” my brain heard “If you don’t buy this, the neighbors will think you drive a Honda with a Mercedes badge you glued on yourself.” Package shows up in that fancy Mercedes cardboard like it’s a birthday gift from Stuttgart. I rip it open, jog to the garage like a kid on Christmas, and—pop—slides in smoother than my salesman’s smile when I signed the papers. Perfect fit, zero rattle, and suddenly my hitch went from “construction-site refugee” to “Yes, I belong here.” The three-pointed star sits there all proud, gleaming like it’s saying, “That’s right, peasants—factory authorized.” Do I tow anything now? Still no. Will I ever? Probably not. But when I back into the country club parking spot and some guy in a Bentley glances over, he doesn’t see an empty hole—he sees commitment to the brand. That’s worth forty-five bucks all day. If you’ve got the square receiver and a mild-to-severe case of logo obsession, just get it. Your hitch deserves dignity too. Five stars and zero shame.

At first I thought "Boy this thing is gonna fall off the first 1/10 of a mile out of the drive way." Then is occurred to me the Lanyard is to be stretched open to go past the opening "flange" (forward of the hitch pin) and snugged back up to the receiver tube flange. Then insert the cover into the 2" opening of the tube. I haven't had a hitch since 1982 and that was a simple welded on ball mount. So... show f hands for the "short bus" folks like me. LOL (If it had directions I actually would have read them before approaching the vehicle.) All that said, it's quite attractive, shines nicely when lit by other cars, and certainly beats showing off one of the dirtiest spots on your shiny ride to anyone pulling up behind!

Cover itself is similar quality to other hitch covers that I’ve bought, just with a Mercedes logo. It has a snug fit which is great. The rubber lanyard is standard. Make sure to completely remove the whole piece (cover and lanyard) if you put a hitch in… don’t leave the lanyard dangling… lost the cover this way with the last one!

This item looks and fit very good seems to be of good Quality and Installation was a breeze adds a nice touch of class to my GLE 350 definitely worth it
