For as long as I can remember, I have had my spare tire threaded bolt sticking up thru my trunk mat about a 1/4 inch. I dont ever remember having a plastic piece that screws onto it from the top though to protect stuff in the trunk from it. I went to the junk yard the other day to see if I could find what I was looking for and none of them have it either. I was just wondering if we ever had a piece that covers up the bolt or if my trunk mat is sagging and I need a new one. A cavalier I looked at in the junk yard had one and I was debating about taking it, but I would have had to cut a hole in the mat to make it fit. So what Im asking is does this piece exist or should I look elsewhere for a solution??

 

Carpet should fit over the top of everything.

 

thanks, thats what I needed to know

Looks like I might be doing the first cavalier trunk mat mod

 

i think mine has a big plastic wing nut and a big( 3in?) nut thing that is supposed to be at the top of the threads....hasnt been since the first flat tire lol

 

Sounds like the the threaded bolt is too long? Hack saw? Had two Balts it definately fits over without issue. That cavalier one sounds promising especially If you shorten the rod it will just sort of hold up the carpet if it is sagging. Gl

 

my carpet has a one inch slit in the middle if it if you look on your jack there should be a bolt of sorts that has a yellow ribber piece over it. That threads on the end of the big screw that holds everythig together.. idk what its for exactly... anyone know????
