Trunk full of water! HELP!
Inside my trunk under the spare tire is full of water!.. Brown, dirty nasty water! The major problem (besides the water) is, I cannot get out the spare tire!... is that black circle thing holding in the spare tire suppose to turn?? Because he doesn't. I'm pretty strong with my hands, But I just can't seem to turn that thing! Any advice?

Re: Trunk full of water! HELP!
There should be a gold screw on top of the round black piece in the middle of the tire, just unscrew the gold piece (you can unscrew it by hand too.) and you should be able to remove the round piece holding the tire down, then the tire can come out.

That black circle thing should unscrew. Maybe its rusted together.

Re: Trunk full of water! HELP!

X2 on the black thing turning....and as for the water, one of the rubber seals that go under the tire might be gone or bad, that would let water in. you might also want to check if your hatch drains are plugged.

Re: Trunk full of water! HELP!
I had water in my trunk because my hatch drains had completely collapsed. The tube was completely flat so I just replaced it and never had a problem again. You have to pull off the side plastic pieces in the trunk to get to it, but I would suggest checking them because eventually you're trunk will start to rust.
