    Is it normal for the cargo/floor area over the spare tire to collapse? I'm certain I'm reaassembling everything associated with the spare tire and associated tools correctly, but I'm not sure if this is normal. Thanks!

    No it is not side wings maybe not seated properly over the 12 volt and the space on the other side of the car where the 12 volt goes on the other those two pieces and I mean unless you're trying to put in the top that lifts up and down upside down but I can't imagine that would even be a thing You do need all the pieces including the under tray that go in the trunk and all goes together to system you even need the piece that goes over the spare tire even if you're not carrying a spare tire you need to put that piece back in and screw it down on the stud
