    car jack placement

    Hi all,

    When I got my vert I did not notice that the car jack was not secured - I thought the previous owner simply did not bother to put it in the right place. Today I take a look at the trunk and there I see the special indent where the crank handle of the car jack should fit, but I did not see the piece where I will secure the little hook that goes over the car jack to secure it's position. Any idea here? Maybe some mount point / piece is missing? (The carpet looks original so I don't think the previous owner modified anything....) Thanks!

    Matthew

    Check under the carpet in that corner. In my car, the carpet had somehow slipped over it and covered the hook piece. I only found out when I had to replace my antenna base.

      ^^ I recently did some exploring back there and found the same thing. Once it's in, it's very secure. I'm happy with it
