Towing and jack pads

Sorry if this was answered before but to my understanding, when towing, the T-hooks go where the jack pads are. Any time I have to strap up my e82 I basically destroy my pads and have to order new ones.

I was curious what others solutions were to this? I don't tow much and if I did I would probably just leave them out but for example I got on a dyno last week which meant destroying my rear jack pads by removing them and ordering new ones.

Is there a method to remove them I am unaware of or does anyone make replacement pads that can be taken off and on?

Push the clips with a flathead screwdriver (wrapped in a towel) from the sides of the pad. I think some of the clips survived when I changed mine out, but I'm not sure.

Order from FCP and get lifetime jack pad replacements!

So that was my next question, I just received new ones from fcp it looks like I can just send them the old ones! That's great!

Not really. You basically have to buy them twice before they'll let you return them. They won't take back parts they didn't sell you.
