get the jack back in.

After changing a wheel using the supplied scissor jack and tools, I'm B Censored d if I can get the jack back into it's polystyrene holder in the rear side access panel.
I made a mental note as it came out [as I had same trouble before - dealer refitted it that time].
Tried a few times over the last two weeks, but just cann't seem to get it back in.
Really didn't think I was that thick.
h...e....l...p...!!!!!

Thanks Doctor D, that's exactly the way I was doing it.
However just went out for another try.
Banging Head Nope!!, still cann't get the damn thing in!!
I can hear the 'handle connector' part hitting off the well base, but sod me, there's about 2 inches sticking out at top that won't go in!!
I know it does [somehow], cos it came out of there.
But, I just cann't figure it out - maybe there's magic involved!!!

Anyone brave enough to take theirs out and try to put it back in???
Now there's a challenge!!

Just took mine out and straight back in . . .

IIRC the base that you are trying to get it into is like an inverted staple (kind of u shape with straight corners). If you have 5cm left at the top you must be hitting the front or back top and not centering correctly.

I know it'll seem amusing to all!
But it's been so damn frustrating for me - cos I know it came out of there.
Not been to dealer yet [no real urgency] but will post when I do.

Scollis, if you're feeling brave ... remove the jack ... fiddle around with it ...
leave it for a few days and try & put it back!!
then again no doubt you'll do it as it's a conscientious task.

I Did It, I Did It, I Did It !!!!

Me not the dealer.
Had a final try yesterday before I took it round to a North West dealer to have a rear brake bulb changed.
And they only charged me £15.55 for it [and left the light guards chaffing the tailgate]!!
I Got The Jack Back In
Mistake I was making was not putting the end into the slot where the chassis plate sits.
I was attempting to put it down in front of the slot [which is outside the polystyrene moulding!!
Whistle
Stupid boy!!!!
