the factory wheel chalk has been out of the car for a while. when i first got the car i was leaving it in my sloped drive way because my brake didn't work. now the e-brake works and it's time to put it back in. but i can't seem to put it in correctly. in the postion that it's in in th pics i can't get the cover to set properly over it.

the thing is bent a little but shouldn't be enough to effect anything...or is it bent the wrong way??

this position seems to work better, but, it's nothing like the manual pictures...

Ha! Me neither! That's another 1/3 lb I can lose when going to the track now.

and click the Manage Attachments button. It allows you to browse for the picture in your computer. There is a size limit of 39.1K so if your file is larger, you should size it down first.

I'll take and post this afternoon a picture of the trunk content arrangement so you can compare.

I posted both pictures, yours, and mine, so you can easily compare. I think yours is more than “bent a little“, or quite different from mine.
