Spare Tire Mount

[Core XK]

I removed my tire from the spare tire holder thinking it was causing a noise; however, it was not the tire at all and it was a simple loose shock bolt.

Yesterday I went to put the tire back up and the wire literally would not come down (I have removed/put back this tire multiple times) so I do know how it works lol

I crawled under and seen a piece of the black plastic ring was broken off but I don't think it would prevent it from coming down to hook the tire on. I turned this thing both ways just to be sure and after a few turns each way it starts to click like its locking the tire when its fully positioned.

Anyone ever have this issue? I am starting to think its simply broken but I really don't want to take it in for this lol

I broke one about a year ago, it's easy to replace but the part is about $60.

Mine wouldn't raise or lower so that was my indication it was broke

Lol Then its probably broke

Damnit

Got that roof rack on yet??

........ have you had someone pull down on the cable while you try unwinding it? Sometimes they need some weight

[Core XK]

Roof racks on and looks great. I'll have to find our camera and post some pics!

I did try and pull down while she winded it. I may give it 1 more try for the hell of it but if not I may go get if fixed.

Havn't been on here much due to wedding planning, school, and work....been a bit crazy for me

Unless it's under warranty just order the part and replace it (or drive here and I'll help if you need/want)

edit: I had to look where you were in relation to Matt, we're about the same distance for you

Time to put the tire on the roof...
