I just did some winter maintenance, & the hold down is gone!!!!
Is this avail from the dealer, or do I post in WTB? In the meantime, Im going to the Zone to get a bungee or strap. May have lost it bc I have a replacement that is taller than stock, & had trouble tightening the aftermarket crap which wasn't but barely tall enough to catch threads. Any ideas?? Thanks folks!!! |

Check that it didn't fall inside the fender. That happened to me when the dealer forgot to secure the battery. I almost spent $20 getting a generic replacement.

Almost any auto store should have a universal battery clamp hold down with or without J hooks you can use that's what I used on mines $8 and looks oem and the clamp is not metal its made of rubber so it doesn't rust and corrode.

Thank You for the replies & tips!!!
Remy-- I had the OE hold down with aftermarket J hooks because those were longer, but still barely enough to get more than a few threads screwed to the wing nuts. So Friday I'll be calling the dealer for availability & maybe the battery too!!! brk34-- Will do!! Meanwhile, I'm with cheela & the bungee!! cjh4122-- I'll see what happens & thanks for letting us know. |

Rob, I have the top bar that sits across the battery as long as you still have everything else. I can get it in the mail tomorrow if it's all you need.
