Hi - I am pretty new on the site but i found tons of valuable info in here. You can say i am mostly a silent reader. I have a question regarding spare tire jack/tool kit foam. I purchased a 2016 civic spare tire for my '22 insight touring. However, it doesn't come with the foam for the tools. Will the foam from 2006-2011 Civic fit (like in the picture)? I don't want to purchase and end up not using it.

Thanks you folks!

I've only dealt with the Gen X Civic foams. Perhaps someone else can answer. I know the Civic Gen X Sedan is a perfect fit. The Civic Gen X hatchback is a little different and requires a little shim - I used a foam kneeling pad, so that helps if I'm ever changing a tire on gravel. I'd get a Gen X Civic sedan foam if you can.

Thank you. I will keep looking.

Thank you. I will keep looking.

If you haven't yet, try a local junkyard. That's where many of us have scored our spare setups.

I got the tire and tools. I am only missing the foam right now. I am checking the bays and fbmarket right now.

I'm a newbie, too, having joined this forum on 2/27/23, the day before picking up my 2019 Insight EX from a Honda dealer in a bordering state. My Insight came with an unused spare tire but no jack, tools, or foam insert.

This forum provided a wealth of info on possible solutions. One post provided the part number for the foam insert made for the Insight, it's part number 84541-TXM-A10. It's horseshoe shaped rather than round. Some members advised in older threads that they couldn't get one due to back order or unavailability.

I Googled the part number and found several Honda dealers that sell on-line at discounted prices. Checking the part number on their websites, some of the sites showed the part as discontinued or unavailable at this time, I could not add it to the on-line shopping cart. However, one website, HondaCarPartsDirect.com, showed the part as available and you could add it to your shopping cart. I emailed HondaCarPartsDirect.com asking if they could confirm whether the part could really be ordered.

They emailed back stating "This part is available at our primary warehouse which would take about 2 business days to receive in stock." So yesterday I ordered it along with a couple of other accessories including the trunk tray. We'll see if they end up including the foam insert with my order or refunding me due to unavailability. MSRP of the foam insert is $43.40, HondaCarPartsDirect's price is $32.55.

Wow, this is great! Thank you so much. I will try my luck then. Thank you again!
