Can Spare Tire Cover Be Reinstalled on Toyota Rav4 With Adapter Installed on it

Question:

I have a 2011 Rav 4. I wanted to know if the spare tire cover can fit over the tire mount when the bike rack is not attached. Thank you.

We had a customer with a similar Rav4 as yours (2008 model) come back and write us a review and say that if you use the shorter adapter that comes with the Yakima SpareTime # Y02599 you can reinstall the wheel cover when you remove the rack from the adapter.

I attached a review video for this rack that shows it being demoed on a similar Rav4 as yours.
