+1. I have a 2023 MY 7 seats tho. I am also exploring this option.Pictures are going to need to wait for several days. But I do want to get back to you.
Awesome modifications! I like it!!!After thinking about this for way too long, I started exploring how to do this today (inspired by other threads and YouTube videos). Before I knew it, I had completed the modification and storage of the Modern Spare. I am pretty happy I got this done.
Would you mind showing a pic of under the carpet flap?Here are some additional photos:
Sure thing. I'm out of town but will post some pictures later next week.Would you mind showing a pic of under the carpet flap?
Also, can you share more pics/info about the bolt mounting? What size bolt and a pic of what it screws into?
Thanks. This is one of the best/cleanest solutions I've seen yet.

Can you tell me more about what pictures you want to see so I can make certain to get the right thing captured?
The bolts were already there. They are the ones that secure the sub-trunk bucket (I think. Can't remember without looking at them.) I did not modify the structure of the vehicle.
I'm not sure I understand this. It will probably make more sense when I start digging around in there.Then I cut the corners of the sub trunk section to allow it to fold down over the section near the rear seats.
Since I'll be gone another several days, I'll try to describe with words.Any pics that show where you made cuts would be helpful. I understand on the bolts now.

Thanks Jon. I'll poke around the sub-trunk this weekend and see if I can figure this out.Since I'll be gone another several days, I'll try to describe with words.
Great job!! I'm guessing you don't need my pictures now.Finally had some nice weather to hack the subtrunk and get the modern spare stored. I still need to run to the store and get the strap, but I'm pretty happy with the results. I traced around the tire to score the line and the cut the foam by hand with a saws-all blade. I'd recommend not cutting the carpet where the foam bar is. Cut the foam bar under the carpet and then make notches in the carpet to lay the carpet down flat. The weight of the tire will keep it flat. LOL - I see it's pretty hard to describe, but once you are in there it's not to difficult to figure out what has to go and what can stay.
There's no wobbling and the floor panels are just barely higher than stock. Everything goes back into place nicely.
Thanks to JonB65 for the inspiration! (sorry for all the dog hair - that's life with a golden retriever!)

Thanks again for your help!Great job!! I'm guessing you don't need my pictures now.
You may have to cut a little more at the corners to get the straps installed.
And a little bit of fur is nothing compared to the happiness dogs bring to us!
I still need to fix this. I think I had a piece of 2x4 that seemed about perfect. I didn't measure it. I need to make a "T" out of two pieces of 2x4 and just set this under the back part of the wheel.What did you use in the tub to hold the spare up? I saw on the one video of the guy use some sort of Styrofoam insulation stuff. Just curious what you did and if you know the height of it? Thanks
OK, Thx for the reply.I still need to fix this. I think I had a piece of 2x4 that seemed about perfect. I didn't measure it. I need to make a "T" out of two pieces of 2x4 and just set this under the back part of the wheel.
I've been riding around with it not really braced up. The strap is doing a good job of keeping it in place.
Movement hasn't been an issue, but I do want to get the back end of the tire supported somehow.
Nothing. Doesn't appear to be needed.What did you use in the tub to hold the spare up? I saw on the one video of the guy use some sort of Styrofoam insulation stuff. Just curious what you did and if you know the height of it? Thanks
