Default hitch cap

just bought a hitch cap with the lexus logo, and it doesn't sit in the receiver tight. WTF. Does your cap sit loose as well? Might just wrap some tape around it to make it a tight fit.

mine fits snug - not super tight but secure.

Might want to soak it in some hot water for 5-10 minutes - then reshape the portion which fits inside the receiver so it fits tighter...

when it cools off it will shrink and fall out, right? I am going to rivet some flat aluminum stock long enough for the hitch pin to go through it.

Mine fits snug. Didn't you buy an aftermarket receiver?
