I checked the Toyota parts website and they want like $130 for one where I live. Not happening... I'm going to try to go to the pull and pay junkyard and grab one, but it looks like the only compatible ones are from specific mid 90s Corollas, and they pretty much never have an actual Yaris to pull from. Anyone know if the 08-11 sedans generally have the same wheels or are they 15"?

Anyway, I just knocked the bracket out of my 2009 hatch. I tried to put a full sized tire in, but it didn't quite fit. It's a snow tire though, so I'm wondering if the heavier tread just barely caused it not to fit.

Pushing against the seat and rear plastic panel




Had to remove the plastic panel to get it fully in there. This panel is what the lid locks into though, so it just kind of sits on top without really being secured in place if you take the panel out. The lid does close completely flat though.
