AttilioGT Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 I like many was surprised that my 2007 has no spare tire. Problem I am having is if I put anything in my truck the thin board with the carpet on it fold down under the plastic lip that is behind my rear lights etc. it doesn't lay flat. Has anyone found an easy fix? I don't want to buy a spare. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Below is a weathertech version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSGT Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 That's what I did, an insert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby-Don Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 I bought a spare tire off a GT500 owner, figured this was better than a can of fix-a-flat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Boss Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 I cut some round pieces of 2" hard foam and glued them up into a lightweight spare tire dummy. It supports plenty of weight and is very light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AttilioGT Posted June 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 Thanks for the tips guys. I already have a WeatherTech liner (the cheaper one you cut to size). It still buckles under the plastic lip that cover the rear lights. I think I'll go with the foam idea, pretty easy fix and right at my ability level lol. thanks guys.

Redlinetoys Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 I know this is an older thread, but for others interested... A piece of Masonite (Menards, Home Depot, Lowe’s, etc) is easily place over the hole and under the original fiberboard to add rigidity back to this area. I use a piece that covers the hole by an extra 6” or so and have not had any problems with carrying some weight back there since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
