Default Odd post of the day: Trunk liner keeps falling in because I have no spare.

Besides purchasing a spare, what would you temporarily put in the spare hole to keep the trunk liner up. It's my ghetto big sound system that weighs so much pushes the liner off the black plastic of the trunk latch portion of the car and down under it. I was thinking a few pieces of wood? It obviously has to be hard enough like a wheel to hold up. Maybe a 16" or 17" wagon wheel?

Default get a screw that will fit the spare tire whole. you basically be building a "T" support

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/54666/ghetto_trunk.jpg"></center><p>with a different screw and some scrap metal or plywood. that is held up with a nut on the bolt and 2 X formed metal bars.

thats how i would do it
