Rear Trunk Towing Option?

[Charlestonboxster]

Hello,

Had coolant level problem, searched appropriate threads, took apart trunk liner and wood, sure enough... coolant leak due to cracked tank. Tool pants pictures helped a lot.

During my search, noticed a towing connection jury rigged to wiring, and the following piece that appears to be a towing hitch mount?:

Webasto 986-504-109-00

I removed licence plate and sure enough, there is a hole there with a female threaded insert for what I guess is a tow hitch.

Searched various sites, could not locate above part, can anyone confirm it is indeed a towing mount?

Was this a factory option or add on?

Where i can buy ball attachement?

Thanks a bunch,

Tony

Upon checking Webasto website, I believe that part is the spoiler mechanics.

However, I am still curious about the tow hitch assembly I seem to have,

seems factory, any clarification appreciated!

Duh, gosh I feel stupid. Female thread is for tow ring, as per manual...

Jury rigged electrical connection for lights on a trailer obviously done after market, no clue what was towed or how.

Please delete thread if appropriate.

Will add anything I learn to the coolant tank replacement thread when I tackle that.
