Wheels/Tyres: Does the XC90 have a Spare Wheel as standard?

You could always cancel your sunroof order and have a spare wheel instead - and get a £600 refund! What's the bigger priority? (Easy for me because I've never really got on well with sunroofs!)

NO! I'd rather have the sunroof and can of goo.

Did you ever use the Pump & Goo? I’ve just bought a 2013 XC90 SE Lux with a Sunroof, no spare wheel, but with Goo.

I have AA cover and get extended breakdown cover (never used) when going over the other side of the Channel, so would just have to wait a bit for recovery if the Goo didn’t work I suppose.

My exec is the same- sunroof but no mechanism for raising/lowering the spare that it doesn't have. There is gubbins in the area but not sure what it's for.

Hi Martin - Happy new Year.

My 2011/12 Exec has both sunroof and spare wheel - Go Figure!!

We can have a look at your "gubbins" when we meet up.

Cheers

Dave

Some clever person probably made a recommendation, the Corporate types looked at how many spare space-saving wheels Verses gunk+inflator were being ordered/sold and/or there was a cost saving; hey presto they no longer drill the shell to allow the cable mech to lower he spare SS wheel, or some such,...

@realslimshady what year is your car? Maybe post 2012 it was no longer possible
