Description  

The Rivian R1T and R1S hitch cover is great when you're not towing, but it requires a screwdriver to remove each time. This product, with no modifications, allows removal of the panel without any tools. They are effectively large thumbscrews. This part includes two thumbscrews - enough for one vehicle. They install very easily. The only tool that is needed is to remove the hitch cover.

Please note that you'll need to reuse the stock plastic washer from the stock plastic screw. Install the thumbscrew as a direct replacement for the stock screw, with the washer in the same spot.

This product is purchased from a third party and thus we're unable to publish the opensource design. This is an injection molded product -- it is not 3D printed due to the torsional requirements of the application.

Customers praised these thumbscrews as a significant upgrade over OEM screws, with reviews highlighting they're "much easier than using a screwdriver" and "perfect fit." Installation is simple and eliminates the need for tools. While overwhelmingly positive, one customer suggested thumb tabs could be 20% bigger, and another noted concern about debris damage to the current orientation.

Much easier than using the screwdriver

Much easier than using the screwdriver, but the thumb tabs could benefit from being 20% bigger.

Worked like a champ, perfect!

They fit exactly like the removed stock part, in fact, these SHOULD BE the OEM part fitted on R1T/R1S from now on. Great job.

Just get them!

Pretty much a perfect item. I had tried a few 3D printed options, but after one snapped I decided to try these. Lower profile, but still totally useable… more robust. Fit my needs to perfection, so stop reading this review and just get ‘em!

Works great

these are very good, one suggestion would be to have the ends to point along the path of vehicle travel. Concerned with current way they sit more prong to rock or other debris damaging. Yes I'm being nick picky. Would buy again.

Great OEM improvement

Makes you wonder why Rivian didn’t make it easier in the first place. Work exactly as they are intended. Nice job.

Is this published on printables?

Four stars because you haven’t actually open sourced this design. It looks good though.

Thanks for the review. Just an FYI, this is a third-party product that we don't own the rights to and unfortunately cannot opensource. I've updated the page to make that clearer. :(

Very Handy

I put these on my R1T and R1S. They work very well. Eliminates the need for a screwdriver to remove the cover plate.

They just work!

Great way to replace the original hitch cover fasteners with ones that can be removed without a tool or coin or whatever was lying around.
