Yaris Cross - space saver - great service and question

[TYCE 23]

Bought a space saver spare from Fish Brothers Toyota online site, for my Toyota Yaris Cross.  Very good price, all parts arrived one slightly damaged, no quibble from Fish Bros, submitted photo of what I considered damage in transit, new part sent out.   Great Service and I comend them to you.   

Question to anyone who had a space saver wheel kit  fitted by a dealer, what is the black metal hook part number 58796-K0030 jack clamp hook for, where does it fit?   Any pics of it in place welcomed.  Thank you

Is it the brace bit for raising the scissors?

Must admit I have not looked.   I really must check before our trip next month.  Only had the car a year 😀

See attached instructions for official Toyota space saver spare wheel fitting parts list and then page 429 of the user manual that shows how clip is used with rubber band to hold the jack in the carrier.

Thank you for that.  I have a copy of that pdf but it does not show where the jack Clamp hook actually fits or what it does.   I have fitted the elastic band across the plastic carrier hooks so tha the jack is firmly clamed into the polystyerene  part.  BUt cannot actually work out the function of the jack clamp hook.  Thanks again

Thank you, I see it lists it as a part but does not show where and to what it fits.  Thanks again

I’ve just had a set of mud flaps from them and ordered loads before (they are also known as Toyota direct parts). Always good service!

Apologies if my response was not c!ear. The parts list confirms that it is part of the carrier and if you look on page 429 of the car handbook it shows the jack in the side compartment held in by the rubber band and the clip.

 It is supposed to rotate through 180 degrees and tension the band. However it is very hard to use and it is easier to fit the clip on the closed position and pull the band over to the gap and force it over the ledge on the plastic carrier.

I once owned a Peugeot 505 Family Estate car and the jack etc. was similarly stowed behind a hinged and carpeted door in the same location.

It was certainly secured better than with a "rubber band". How cheap and nasty is that?

I think the correct description would be ....

A confident engineering solution that takes into account the need to be lightweight, flexible (to deal with the 3 dimensional movement of the jack and carrier when underway) and comfortable to manipulate.

 

But it still looks like a thick rubber band. However it does not need to look too fancy as it will be hidden away most of the time.

Your comment Paul reminds me of my initial reaction to my new Honda Accord.

All previous British Leyland cars had hard plastic mouldings running along the lower dash yet the Honda equivalent was effectively a type of cardboard.

The Honda however was much more refined & its nylon fasteners never came loose like the BL screwed in panels.

My Lexi all had the rubber band & never caused an issue in 20 years!

@olonas  I see the rubber band as being a fit for purpose solution.   Traps the jack in a polystyerene pre formed slot, excellent as far as I can see, albeit a bit tight.

Until it goes twang or dry rots.

As they say in certain parts of  Northern Ireland, "sure a bit of bailer twine will do the job"!

Good quality rubber won’t rot.
