How Is Faceplate Attached To Ford Escape Trailer Hitch Receiver Cover

Question:

How sturdy is the hitch cover attached to sleve? The face plate of the one I have now has come off in the car wash twice. Can you recommend one that is sturdier? Thanks

I have attached a photo of the back of the Ford Escape Trailer Hitch Receiver Cover, part # FOVHC-12.

As you can see in the photo, the faceplate is held in place on the sleeve with 4 screws and it would take quite a bit of excessive force from a car wash to knock the faceplate off. This hitch cover has a chrome-plated faceplate that is attached to a stainless steel base to help resist rust and corrosion. This cover also comes with three foam gaskets that makes sure the cover fits your trailer hitch.
