ok... somebody... please please please run out to their car and take a look at the jack placement... im sitting here covered in old brake dust and jack grease... and I still can't get the stupid thing to fit!!!!!! Ive tried expanding it, contracting it... breaking it... cursing at it... nothing works!!!!! There is no way I can get the jack into the retaining clip and into the slot that runs along the right side of the spare tire well at the same time... its just impossible. I can't just put the jack in the spare tire well because that thing amplifies sound...and whenever I hit a bump... the jack sounds like I just broke an axle or something... so please! Somebody end my humiliation and find out where and how to put the jack in the trunk of my car!!!
