Does anyone know what the bottom panel in the cargo area is called? It has the two rails that allow you to tie things down with the kit the car came with? I have seen plenty of posts that talk about the flexible cover that covers the entire area, but I want to know what the name of the hinged, spare tire cover is called. I want to find a replacement for mine, just in case I screw it up. I've got some ideas about mounting things on the underside of it, and want to make sure I can find a spare - just in case.Thanks!Scott

I don't think it has a specific name, besides spare tire cover. But If I'm wrong, someone will surely correct me.

Thanks! Man, that's a sweet lookin' vibe in your signature. What % is your tint? My is stock, so I want to get the windows tinted, but I live in NC, and the laws here suck, so you can only get really lightly tinted film.

Thanks man! Yeah, it's not legal tint. The front is 35% and the rest is 20%. I just don't like the look if only the back windows are tinted. I haven't gotten pulled over once yet.( Knock on wood.)

I used to live up there. Nice place, except that winter is like, 8 months long! Anyway, your vibe looks great. I have a neptune blue, completely stock 2003. I've got a ton of plans, but nothing done yet. I'll have to start slow so the wife doesn't nix my plans.

Will do. My wife has my car out of town on a business trip right now, so I'll post some over the weekend (once I've washed it).Scott

the vibe owners manual refers to it as the rear cargo area floor panel. Some of the Matrix documentation refers to it as the deck board.
