Default Trailer wiring harness help!

Hi. New to the forum ... I just picked up a 2020 Defender as a CPO. I noticed the trailer wiring harness dust cover was missing and wondered if anyone could recommend a replacement part no. Or idea of how to fix without going to the dealer. I checked but couldn’t figure out the OEM part number. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same issue. Did you find a replacement?

May have to call the Dealer's Parts Department. Searched Topix and couldn't find anything. But then again, I'm not a pro.

Also, searched around here and couldn't find anything. Take a look. I'm sure you're more motivated to find it than I did. I spent 5 minutes and failed. Hopefully you can succeed. Otherwise, seems like a visit.

You could take a gamble and purchase this
Curt 7-way RV plug Curt 7-way RV plug

Push the pin out and swap over the cover, looks like it would work...

This looks to be a close match LR 2013-2018. and its plug and play for the most part. Maybe give them a call and they (Atlantic British) can find the perfect match.

Dang I am in the same boat the plastic cover was doing just that, covering. It will not hold the plug in. Did anyone find out a solution? TIA!!

@Lutfy - Doubt anyone is selling just the cover. You will likely have to buy the entire receptacle and that's likely to be crazy expensive. Then again, expensive is in the eyes of the person with the credit card. I don't have any solutions (regrets), but I would be contacting the crap out of my 3D printing buddies to see if someone could hook me up. Heck, once they develop the design they could post it on here and make a few bucks! Reach out to some of the 3D forums if you don't know anyone and perhaps you can get lucky. Good luck!

Cheers! I will reach out to the dealer then.

Also anyone here tried this to see if it worked?
Amazon Amazon

If not, I am happy to test it out.

Unfortunately this did not work. The Curt unti is plug and play and the LR OEM is (hard) wired.

Dealer mentioned needing to change the whole rear assembly as they do not have a replacement cap. They are inquiring further (in the event the cap is interchangeable between prior model years).
