How do you get that spare back into the 2003 C230 Coupe???
Hi all,
Unfortunately got a flat with my summer tire and had to use the spare in the trunk of my 2003 C230 Kompressor Coupe. It's the very small tire that expands when it's inflated.
However, now that I have replaced the main tire, the spare won't fit back into that small compartment that it came from. I've tried to deflate it as much as possible but it's still too big.
Has anyone done this?
Thanks!

Make sure it's deflated as much as you can do, and scrunch it down at the same time. It should fit in there; you may need to adjust the angle you're using to stuff it back it, it's an awkward affair, but it should fit eventually.
