Go back to any BMW automatic carwash and you’ll see several lying around.
It's a press fit - wouldn't be surprised if it shrinks/hardens as it gets older. Hadn't thought about the automatic car wash problem. We rarely use one, but it makes sense that the brushes would pop the plug out. Should be pretty simple mod to allow the hitch pin to secure it.

Hmm...
