I have 2015 Treg with a retractable towball. It only just makes the Al-Ko 3004 standard but is good enough - even without the breakaway cable fastening ring. My problemn is keeping it clear of rust when it is tucked away after towing. I have tried a tow ball cover but that just holds the water sprayed off the road so it rusted. Then I thought it was mad to let it sit in a tow ball cup of water (and probably some added road salt at times), so I now retract the ball without the cover and it has rusted all over! I know I can use fine wet or dry to clean it but it is getting pitted even after the rust has been sanded off. I guess there are other factory fitted retractable tow hitches out there so can any body please suggest how they keep their towballs protected when not in use.
