This is intentional—when you compare the threads of your Rennline tow hook to the factory hook, you’ll see a big difference in thread profiles. That’s a key part of the design.”

I did indeed. The issue is that it is completely bottomed out after the 1/2 turn (on the rear specifically). Torquing it with the 19 doesn’t give the result the instructions imply.
You can sink it in pretty good on the front though.
I went after these because of the all steel construction. The quality met my expectations. Their mounting system is flawed. I spoke to the technician at Rennline, and he agreed the threads are too short. He’s sending out some longer studs
