Guess we should all look there more often.

Well Dot went to check for you and found this going on! So $152.00 later for charging system check and new battery and all is well. The spare will need repaint but trunk is ok. Oh and yeah mine is round!

That picture alone is going to cause me to examine mine!

Good thing Dot started this thread!

Dot,
My cap is round, just like yours. Model year is 2003.

Build date is puzzling; sticker on door jam says 3/03, Lou Martin told me from the VIN the in service date was Feb 2003. Web site posted on TBN Aug 2011 (www.compnine.com) gave me a build date of 01-24-03 when I input the VIN. Take your pick.

Time to ask Quickdraw... He'll have all the dates for you.

Several 2004's missing the part.

Not enough missing, Ron. Dates might make a difference because there was a line change during the 04 production but yours were bought used, right?

Thinking back, I remember finding that part loose in the trunk or in the spare tire well. Now where did I put that think. I assume that the part screws on the stem, or does it?

If you've never removed the spare and are missing the part, check in the well. It may have come off and be under the tire or somewhere down there.

I've got to go look.

Charlie, It just slips over the top. Easy on, Easy off. No screwing to bother with.

'04, July '03 build date, round (just like the ones in the pictures that have been posted).

I checked and it's not listed or shown as a part for any year. Leroy
