Any of you ever tried to actually remove the spare tire from the trunk? On the convertible, it is nearly impossible to get the spare out. I honestly don't think a women could do it. I really had to wrestle with it and it will only come out and go back in one way, and even then you have to force it.

Yes, a royal pain in the arse, it can be done but with patience.
best bet, autoclub or AAA
Huge PIA
ya just head a blow this past week . took me atleast 20 min to get the tire out .had no problem though getting back in . 1 blow out 2 new tires $$$ wow
Yeah, getting that spare out is a real bitch. Gettin back in is no picknick either. Do what I did, befriend a few tow truck drivers. Then, when you get a flat, have one of them pick you up and take ya to the tire shop.
i've taken it out and put it back in, its coming out for good in a week or so because it is really useless, i have AAA and if i blow a tire the bitch is gettin towed to my house
I had a 3rd gen convertible and I tried once to get it out. Even without air it didn't want to come out.
Like I said , take that heavy piece of crap out for good. Then go to wally-world and get you a large can of FLAT-FIX and a PLUG installation tool & a small box of tire plugs . Problem solved ~ extra room in your trunk ~ lighter weight=quicker E.T. & higher top speed not to mention better gas mileage !
