looks like it should work , if not , get a piece of foam board and stick it between the spare tire and panel..

Hell just throw the damn spare away! Once you drop it you can't get the jack to fit! and put some big *** tires on it you would rather walk then put that little **** of a tire on it Just put a 10 lb nitrous bottle in there!!

Have you tried a dealer? p/n 10406938 Even if they say its "discontinued," ask them to search the inventory of other dealers. I'll bet that they can find one. It should cost you $5-10.

Ive had no problem finding them, but thanks, The only reason I havent Ordered It yet It Because of the $60 Price tag on the one's that Ive Found...

Is it $60 because you have to purchase the whole console? Exactly what piece are you looking for? Do you just need the spring, etc?

Found lots of places that have the door for $45 as I was searching for other console parts today - but I expect that's probably still too much?

No, even 60 isnt too much, but my problem is that Im trying to save for a rear end and a built trans before i go further on my fixing things... only 4000 to go, hahaha... reason i wont buy it before then is because i usually go on buyin g spees when i spend small amounts - Ill start off buying that ash tray door, and end up buying all of my suspension before i realize i spent my whole savings
