Hello,

I ordered a tow hook from Ptuning.com for my 2010 370z. It arrived yesterday and I found that the bolt does not fit into the bolt hole that it is supposed to mount to.

I was able to screw in and unscrew the stock tow hook without issue two weeks ago.

So I have a few questions,

1. Is it possible that the bolt hole is simply very cold, (temp is currently 7 degrees) causing it to shrink ever so slightly as to not allow the room temperature tow hook to screw in as it is supposed to?

2. I thought that the tow hook bolt was a universal size, is it possible that Ptuning sent me the wrong sized bolt?

I figured I'd ask these questions before calling their customer service because they will likely be closed by this evening when I am free to make phone calls. But if I could deduce that they sent me the wrong size. I could shoot them an email right now and expedite the whole process.

Thanks for any input you can provide.
