Title: Jack hold down strap
Post by: Mikelj5S230 on March 22, 2025, 04:30:17 PM
What is the proper strap/spring that holds down the jack to the right side floor area just in front of the battery in the trunk. Mine has a bungee cord, which is probably not right. Thanks for any help.

Bungee cord was typical.

Anyone sell a typical bungee cord? I remember some recommendations maybe on forum 1.0?

Thanks
