Cause you notice how the molding is slightly curved right at the end of the trunk? your probly supposed to have some sort of board that goes inside and covers the spare, and that brace just holds it up to make the trunk flat and flush with the molding.

Well, the guy made it for a brase, similar to the itr. But that could work too.
