    First for doing the research for the parts and 2nd for the announcement of the 4th of July sale!
    I ordered the spare protector foam, hold down bolt and cable protector.

    Great price from dealer with ther sale and the parts came in about 5-7 days.

    I picke them up and the parts guy said there's another huge sale for Labor Day, in case anyone needs to order parts they don't need immediately.

    Going to cannibalize the existing foam and see how it goes. If I'm not happy with the results I'll order the OEM parts on the next sale.

    Thanks broseph!!

    Maybe if the parts departments get enough sales of spare and associated items, something will trickle through to Toyota. I doubt it though, think the only thing they understand is potential buyers walking away.

    You may think that but with many auto makers not providing a spare, it is what it is.
    We live in an imperfect world

    Funny, I read the same thread and it made me pull the trigger on a spare tire. So double shout out!

    I did go the C-HR spare tire with all the tools as I got it used.
