Default Pic of jack and spare tire installed?

Really dumb question..... Any one have a pic of the jack and spare tire installed on a 98-02 trans am coupe?? I just bought the hardware to reinstall mine (removed by previous owner) and it just does not seem like there's any way to get both the jack and spare tire in there

Thanks in advance

Yeah, I could never figure out how to get the jack in there correctly. What I did was put the tire in and tighten it down good, then wedge the jack betweeen it and the body in a way that wouldn't rattle and left enough room to the the trim panel back down over it.

I guess the problem I'm having is that my car doesn't have the jack insulators and the theft deterant sensor is right where the jack is supposed to go.

Space savers are always annoying to get in. When I took mine out of my Sebring to get at the scissor jack to use on another car, I had a heckuva time getting it back in. My 95 Formula is the exact same way.

Thanks!! Got it! That was really bugging me....

The carpet was hiding the jack area and the instructions made it look like the jack went on top of the fender...
