Another guy installed this kit and didn't seem to need a floor shim, but the video (q3KR0V3p75Q) was low on details. Is yours a thicker spare or he might he have not bothered to make sure the cargo floor was supported evenly? Also, what about heat-dissipation above the battery? That foam block seems to have a hollow base, hard to tell without seeing it in person.
@hardhikes 2 ай бұрын
My spare may be a bit thicker than his due to the protrusion of the rim past the tire. The foam spacer is supported along the sides by the plastic cargo deck underneath it that you can see before I put the spacer in. There’s some empty space in the distance between the cargo deck and the spare tire rim but it’s not much and the cargo load should be evenly distributed between the tire and spacer/cargo deck if you measure the spacer height correctly.

@@hardhikes Thanks, this is clearly a "devil's in the details" situation. I'm wondering about warranty issues when something big is put so close to a critical component.

I'd like a spare but I'm not adding one at nearly $600-$700 by the time the tire is in there. If I blow a tire I have it on my insurance. You'd sell 5 times more of these if you cut the price in half.

I am thinking of buying a spare tire, but with this solution there is so much space lost without a reason (below the tire, in the middle of the tire, on the sides). I would consider covering the tire with a cloth and using the full cargo space without the cargo liner, possibly also removing the plastics placed on the sides.

I currently have a FULL SIZE spare wheel-tire : 215/65R17. Measuring the fit -- it appears that this FULL size spare depth will rise above the floor several inches (about 5" or 6-inches}, depending upon the depth-fit of the MOUNT-block. Still, this retrofit Mount Upgrade would be better than just strapping the full-sized spare to the floor -- since that currently rises a full 10-inches above the floor, and makes the cargo bay mostly unusable. ?? Anyone attempted to mate this retrofit Tire Mount Upgrade with a full-size spare wheel-tire ?? [I travel in rural Saskatchewan often far from assistance : a spare tire is a necessary safety feature.] .
