Re: Check your spare!

lol yea fortunately for me i had to open it all the time...because of my saltwater fish tank...buying water and bringin it to my house, water would spill all up on my trunk carpet so i always had to take it out to dry lol.

I feel ya on the poor design. ON my lexus taking off my stock intake box..the same damn thing happened...needed me and my buddy to take it off. Freakin ghey!

Would have been much better if it was not circular since this does not give it any grip in the plastic once it breaks free.

I think the only time I'd gone in there was when the car was new (2003) to check it out. Lesson learned, must verify these things every so often.
