Jack and Lug wrench: How to store?
Hello. New to forum. Got 2010 HHRSS last month. New, 5 speed, metallic red. All is well. Except I searched "How To" section of forum because I can't follow from owner's manual how to properly secure Jackstand / Lug wrench / Spare tire combo to prevent rattling. I tried multiple ways and none of them are correct.
(So, I have the lug wrench and Jack in storage bins wrapped in rags, wasting good storage space)
I'd appreciate verbal instructions or a link to a video if one is available..
BTW the explanations were great for removing the storage boxes to get under the back seat, and for instructions for removing front head rest. Thanks . Bob

Welcome Bob! Hope you are enjoying the zippy-ness of your new car. I love the unsuspecting ricers.
I can provide you a picture of how it should look, jack stand on bottom, wrench on top of it.
Sorry I cannot be of more service, but I am not at my computer and am at work currently.
Best of luck.

Actually, I already had to use it. On way home from dealer, a 2 mile ride, I ran over a machine screw, right front tire, middle tread area. I thought for sure it penetrated, and would have to be patched. So I removed wheel.
Of course, it was at that point I learned the spare wheel does not fit over the Brembo brake - which as everyone knows required another jacking and switch out with a rear wheel.
The good news was when I removed the machine screw it had not penetrated, like a roofer nail, the usual culprit. So, end of story. No air loss. And I wound up learning about the tire pressure display on the dash-board, which I've kept in the "always on" mode for now.
An exciting first 24 hours, lol, all in the back yard. Everyone has a story, always good to read to keep things in perspective. Thanks for the welcomes.
