Am I missing something (in the hatch?). Pic.

Scribe · 03-10-2009, 07:00 PM

I was taking out the cargo cover and decided to peek at the sub and tire. I noticed something appeared to be missing from a cutout. I glanced though my manual, but didn't find anything. Can anyone tell me if there is something that is supposed to be there or if they too just have a blank cutout.

BTW, I have a touring, sport pack car, in case it's package specific.

Literally. It looks like that's where your tire jack is supposed to be. I can't believe that Nissan would be so cheap as to not include one.

Take it back to the dealer and demand one.

I will if that is the case. Do YOU have a tire jack there? (I think it's on the left).

I do. But then again, I own a Mustang GT, so that's not gonna help you much!

I guess we'll have to wait for someone who actually owns one of these sweet cars to post with an answer for ya.

It's the weird bizarre tool

Ok...once you remove the carpet mat (if you have one), the thin mat that should be in all 370s and then the "hard" plastic cover; you should be looking at the top of your spare tire.

To the right is the towhook and to the right is the jack and tire iron...they are both "silver" in color and if they aren't there it should be obvious.

Perhaps it's a weight-saving gimmick!

What's the purpose of those 2 empty carved out, recessed spaces, one on each side of the tire. Their both empty on my '09 also and the jack, and other tool are where they are supposed to be.

Hello? This is what that link says, "To the right is the towhook and to the right is the jack and tire iron...they are both "silver" in color and if they aren't there it should be obvious." I'm not talking about that. Those pieces are present. I'm talking about the other 2 small carved, empty recesses.
