Is this an extra storage bin in the end of my trunk. Or does something go here?

 

thats where your spare goes

 

Looks like where the spare wheel would go on a coupe (vertically). Not sure if that is moved to another location on a vert

 

It's for drugs. Trust me on this...

 

The tire is inside the car behind the seats. I think the trunk is not tall enough to fit a tire.

 

nothing goes there, it is a good place to mount a amp, you can mount a amp to a board and bolt it in there using existing holes.

and yes- on a coupe your tire goes there. All the way on the left is a compartment your jack would go- do you have a jack?

 

I always get water in that spot when it rains, and in the jack-spot as well. Seal is good on the trunk lid, never have figured it out. Maybe my trunk mount brake light seal is no good Enough that I would never put an amp in there.

 

you can tell mine would get wet, but I have the same amp back there since like 1999
I popped the drain plugs out of my car a long time ago, lol

 

i'm going to go out on a limb, and say it gets wet because of the rain.....

no really, its probably from the top, mine leaks into the trunk, and the spare well is the lowest point... although the 3rd brake light is possible, i've seen that.

 

its pretty decent storage area for:

a small tool bag with the key metric wrenches , and other quick fix tools
shop towels
tire foam
leather conditioner

a little emergency cash

 

Well, the top is tight and leak free and I don't get any water under the spare tire cover inside the cabin. Maybe I'm getting water in through the antenna as well...but the drain hose is in place. I just dry it out after a rain.

 

it can hold 6.27 KG of really good "wheelchair weed"...
Make sure you put it in Ziplocks..it gets wet back there if your trunk seal is shot!

 

Get it wet and all you got is moldy mary and she stinks .

 

ya i still have the jack. that spot will just be used for tools i guess. looks like mazda got a little lazy putting together the vert.

 

the factory owners manual i found in my red vert says that after you use your spare. place it in the spare tire slot in the trunk.

i dont really understand why you would do this but oh well. i just keep spare interior pieces in there like vents, door handles and small trim pieces

 

what would you want there? coffee maker?

 

just curious, where did you get that rotory key on your key chain?

 

well they used the coupe floor stamping there, so its kind of a bonus space....

 

Factory Owners Manual is generic, not Vert specific.
