oh yeah...sorry...apparently SMA started sending out the tire carrier with a rubber sleve to protect/quiet the latch assembly, which mine has...snug fit, just would be nice to have some sort of lock instead of just the t-pin...was thinking about maybe getting an all-purpose lock and some locking lug nuts...but really the spare should be sitting on the floor of my garage unless I'm going on a road trip. ( which is easy to do w/ SMA - didn't seem to be an option with any of the other carriers )
