Does anyone know what this piece of plastic does?

Hello all. I hope everyone is back from their hang over for New Year. Quick question for you guys. Please see attached pictures. I found this square plastic with arrow in the glove compartment when I picked up my car last week. Do you guys know what is it? I also had to peeled some protective tapes which the dealer never pulled out for me. Found out there was a couple more of them under the front bumper today. Some kinda job they did...hehe. Sorry if I've been posting too many questions lately

Looks like it might be the tow hook cover. The dealer has to remove it from the front bumper to install the license plate frame.

Hmm...I wasn't thinking of that. You might be right on the money!

the front bumper protective plastic is to prevent you from scratching up the low hanging bumper i thought? i left it alone. as for the interior plastic... i did also have a few pieces left unremoved when i took delivery. but i of course rushed them to have the car prepped for me.

Definitely the piece that covers where the front tow hook goes. If you have a front liscense plate, the hole is covered anyway, so it isn't needed.

The reason I took it off is at the bottom it was peeling a bit. I didn't want to just leave it there because if I give it 6 months or so and try to peel it afterward, I am afraid by then it'll be stucked with the paint and if any parts of the paint peels off with it I would be damn ****, thus I took it off...just my opinion.
