[Robti]

Hi I asked a while back but can anyone help on how to fit a tourer spare wheel cover ( the the optional one fitted with the storage trays)with a full sized spare, mine keeps the boot floor up an inch

can you add a picture of how you have it installed?
Is the tray the right way round?

I have got one in the shed I will try it out tomorrow for you, have you also added the poly edges which the tools fit into, and the ones that do not are different so that maybe your problem?

I cut the flange off about an inch down then overlapped it with the base part and glued and used a couple of pop rivets to hold the two parts together.:}

Don’t suppose you have any pics as I think I will end up having to do this if I want to keep a full size spare

I will take a picture later but am a bit of a technophobe so if you pm your email address I will send it to you.:}

Hi Robert.
As promised I tried the wheel cover on the tourer today, and as you say it sits high, with a full size wheel, that maybe because I have a 225/40/18 eleven spoke spare in the well? I know that on my first tourer which had a full size 17 inch Serpent alloy spare wheel the cover fitted perfect.

I removed the tool holder insert, replaced it with the cover and as you can see the floor sits proud :shrug:

What size wheel do you have the well.
