Spare tire pics
Looking for pictures of the spare tire mounted in the trunk. I just got my spare today after my dealer had it back ordered. Does the spare nomally stow parallel to the ground or does it slant downward from front to back? I thought you would be able to stow things under the tire but mine angles downward towards the back of the trunk. Just wanted to know if it was mounted correctly. It's dark out right now & I can't get a clear picture!

Oooh, shiny!

It should angle downward towards the front of the vehicle. The install kit comes with a rubber spacer that is meant to be placed at the bottom of the top edge of the trunk for the tire to rest against. I will have pictures shortly.
EDIT: pictures attached.
You CAN get stuff in the trunk underneath the tire... just not very much.
