hey ive got a 89 daytona shelby and when i turn the corners and stuff my spare tire cover board thing always sklides around and my carpet always moves i was just wondering of any ways to make it stay down and not slide everywhere?

go to a junkyard and find the metal hook with plastic threaded nut cap thing....it hooks to the body and runs up through the hole in the cardboard the plastic nut then tightens down on it ..walla no more stuff flyin round

On my charger i'm planning on buying a 1/4 sheet of hard board and cutting to fit then use velcro with a thin layer of material ( moving blanket)
then the hatch carpet on top.

i have that metal hook thing but how does it go on? like it cant fasten to anything ti keep the board down? its just like a metal pole with a plastic screw on thing

i dont remember how it goes maybe someone can tell you. i don't havce a spare in my car so i took all that out. and i also meant to say that i will use 1/8 board not 1/4 like the stuff clip boards are made of.

hwey i just checked it and that nmetal rod with the black screw doesnt hold on the cover it only holds down the wood cover thing

there should actually be a couple screw ons on that hook one large metal wing nut to hold down the tire and a plastic nut slightly gigger than the hole in the fiberboard cover..once its all secured down the crpet is layed out and velcro holds it in place ...take a look in a freinds trunk as the design should be similar

ya i dont have a hook to hook onto the floorboard to keep it down but ya ill hafta check around and see what its supposed to be like
