shocks Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 get a space saver and then buy a yaris plastic bung that makes like a support for the boot stops it from sagging. only saw this the other day have ordered mine to stop my boot from the same.

KrisSilver Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) A what shocks mate? If it's not secure is the screw and hole in good order? I'd suggest addressing that as apparently losing the spare wheel doesn't help with fuel economy much at all. Plus you'd have an even emptier space there, potentially even more acoustic road noise echoing. Edited February 14, 2012 by KrisSilver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InsolentMinx Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 i'd just get a replacement screw bit from someone on here. cheaper than calling out a tow truck cos you've got a flat and no spare to get you home... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamGTR Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Take spare wheel out, then take wood out, then carpets Done ? Who looks in your boot anyway, so no need for carpets, shopping? That's what those hooks are for at the side of your boot, read the manual "Shopping bag hooks" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
