My 85D doesn't have a frunk under carpet storage and my tow hook was stored in the UMC bag.
I've moved it to a tool bag in the frunk for easy access.

I had a loaner P85+ yesterday and snapped this picture of the tow hook under the frunk carpet for those who may not be aware:

Wow, thanks for posting that. Where does it screw in to?

You pop the nosecone off and there is a threaded section that it screws in to. My car pre-dates this and you have to use a complicated set of straps and hooks to certain suspension components under the car.

Is there a VIN crossover point for the nosecone thread?

Probably, but I don't know what it would be. I would have to think if you lift up the carpet and find the hook, the threads will be there under the nosecone.

Well, it's certainly more obvious on the UMC bag. I actually ran in to one owner a while back who didn't even know he had a tow hook until I lifted up the carpet in his frunk and showed him.

Thanks for posting that. Before reading your post I had no idea such a device existed. So I went to the car, opened the frunk, lifted the carpet and there it was.

Next step was to read about it in the manual in the "Instructions for Transporters" section. (btw, the manual refers to it as a "towing eye"). Interesting that it only says it is located in the front trunk. Nothing about where in the front trunk. But thanks to your post I knew to lift the carpet.

Looks like one must remove the nose cone to access the port where the eye screws into. Not having removed that before I'm going to have the folks at the SC show me how to do that without damaging it.

Thanks again.

You can learn how to do it on YouTube

For those who might be interested I learned from the service center yesterday that the threads on the tow hook (aka "towing eye") are reversed. So turn anti-clockwise to screw in and clockwise to remove.
