      Question Wheel cover bent (Hatchback 2009)

      You know how there is a cover over the extra wheel in the trunk? (hatchback 2009). Mine is made of cardboard and over the years has bent. Anyone by chance know where to get a new one? Preferably stronger than cardboard -_-

      Thanks!

      Using the old one as a template, I'd trace the shape into another material (Masonite, plywood, etc) and make it myself. Chances of finding another one are slim.

      Virtually everything can be found in an auto JUNKYARD. Or, as was said, the original panel is probably only made of masonite.

      If you regularly put a heavy load in the trunk (which might have broken it) then plywood might work better. If that's less than adequate, consider laterally bracing the trunk space with a 2x4 over that area.
