I was wondering about the inside of my cargo area where the spare tire is stored. Sitting on top of my spare is a board with a hole in it. The hole fits over the retaining bolt/fastener and rounded attaching plate that secures the spare in place.

My question: should the rounded plate be under the board or should it be on top? I just wonder if my dealership took this apart and didn't put it back together correctly? It seems that if the plate attached over the board instead of having the board just lay on top, there would be better noise control.

How are your spares/cargo areas set up?

On mine, the board just lays on top. It is not attached.

Thanks!

It just seems that if it was attached, there would be 1 less source for a rattle when you hit a bump in the road.:bsflag:

On mine the board is in the garage on a shelf. The bose bass sounds better to me without the "extra insulation" or board in there.
