Arrow RX-2 owners: quick question!

Hey - just wondering how the spare tire is secured in the trunk?

All I see is the curved bracket on the floor of the trunk for the wheel to sit against, but how is it actually held in place?

Thanks!

There's a molded rubber mat that covers the tire and trunk (boot). That's all the holds it in place.

Yup, and it only works if the tire on the rim is the stock size other wize it won't fit well. I really wouldn't worry about it moving around, theres not too much space for it to go because of that curved bracket.
