Care to link the vid?

I have a 'sort of' solution in mine which i could take a pic of. Some items just feel like they should be somewhere else. But yes, you should have a tow hook.

Interesting, thank you.

I went out and grabbed a couple of pics and tried to re-arrange my kit to look like the one in the video.

Here is how i'd managed to get it inserted previously. The 'hook' part is actually slightly recessed in the foam, it's also butted right up against the foam on the other side, so you can see, that it doesn't fit length-wise in the foam slot.
I had the tow hook in the other slot towards the front, in the video, that slot is empty.


Here is how i managed to jam it all in. If you gently push the 'hook' enough, you can squeeze it in the slot, but it's very tight, it doesn't let it go down enough to allow the tow-hook enough room to clear the trunk covering when you put it all back again.



So as you can see, this is the best i could come up with. I can only assume that some of them are slightly different. Guess i just got to remember to check another car at a meet or something.



It's strange how Nissan doesn't have a picture in their handbook like other manufacturers.

Thanks for those pictures. Something just doesn't look right about that tow hook though.

Yeah...

Believe it or not, there are secondary indents in the foam so it's sitting very securely, but if you have a better place...

Based on the pictures you posted above, I believe you have everything stowed correctly. Or, I should say, that's how it was stowed in my 2006 coupe from the dealer and I am assuming that is the intended location for everything.
