Title: Looking for a C4 Convertible spare tyre, cover and jack
Post by: jimandemma on January 29, 2019, 09:43:44 PM
Story goes that customs liked the spare tyre, cover and jack more than the importer. Can anyone on here help me source these items please.

Is there a way to hold them to account for the damage.

I didn't bring the car in, but from what I have been told in the past, they have a right to search by any means and are not held accountable for damage done. Again, this is what I have been told.

Any proof it happened in Oz? Theft and damage could have occurred before it left the USA.

Not sure as I didn't bring the car in GTC. Anyhow, it's history now, just need to replace the missing and damaged stuff.

I have a jack.
Cover??? You mean the jack bag or the spare carrier?
What year. I have a 16" but you need a 17 post '88.

Sabre, need the spare wheel carrier, 17" spare as it is an 88 with the Z52 package and jack. Bag for jack is optional. All I have is the key for the wheel caps (thank god) and tyre wrench behind the drivers seat. Even the threaded bar that holds the spare wheel carrier is gone.
