I can\'t figure out how to get the jacks cranking arm back in properly?

An Idiot

Bit late with this, so maybe you\'ve figured it out now.

Anyway here\'s a couple of pics of how mine looks.

I didn\'t dare remove it from the compartment to take the pic because you can be sure I\'d then find out I couldn\'t replace it myself  ;)

Wow didn\'t think anyone would come through, thanks!

I spent about 10 minutes in the rain holding the bootlid up with my head, gave up and left it. Didn\'t want to break any clips or anything.

I\'ll have another go now :)

In about 3 years time someone else will have the same problem and Google + this thread will be their savior :D

Cheers

Have the jack wound down all the way, slide it in (as shown in the pic) and there is a metal clip which sits in the gap on top of the jack.  I find it easy to lift the jack up to this and then wind it up untill its sat down and tight.

Yes a few days old now but you never know who\'s looking ;)
