 Topic: Spare tire cover won't go onPosted: 27 Aug 2013 at 3:58pm |

Was easy to make, a sheet and a half of aluminum, a few 1/8 inch pop rivets and 4 short pieces of 3/4 inch aluminum angle so that it can not slide off. I did move the spare tire hitch into the receiver about an inch and a quarter so that it is closer to the rear of the trailer. Goose

Lost ours the second day out on our first trip, decided that there had to be a better way. Have not had any trouble since I made the tire cover. Goose

Little "brass" grommets from the hardware store work great for weep holes.

The elastic in mine gradually "died" so I bought a new cover last month. Fits tightly, but tends to hold a little rain water during our current rainy season inn Florida. Time to create a weep hole at the bottom of the cover.

My suspicions are being confirmed.
Thanks all for the info. |

I couldn't even get the factory cover off the factory tire. I swear they grew that tire inside the cover! I knew if I ever got it off I would never get it back on. I trashed the factory cover and bought an aftermarket cover that fit. Good luck.
