Well, I think I can solve the spare problem... with thanks to someone elses insight on another model...

If the rear wheel fits the front axle, and the 17" compact spare fits the rear axle (which it does) then in the hopefully rare occasions where you need to change out the tire in the middle of nowhere -

Put the 17" on the rear axle. Not the one having problems? Then use the rear wheel you just took off on the front axle with the bad wheel.

Twice the work half the time, but better than a bottle of goo.

Now... I find A203 chassis spare tire well liners that look like they might fit a A209 chassis - will they?

Thanks -
