I am looking to remove the spare wheel and lower the boot floor in a 2016 4x4 Yeti - so that there is a larger flat area once the seats are removed. This is what my searches have brought up regards doing this: "With the Haldex four-wheel-drive system, the rear differential and 4x4 running gear sit directly beneath the boot. To accommodate those parts, Skoda manufactured the metal floor pan of the 4x4 chassis with a raised "hump". Even without a spare wheel, a 4x4 Yeti's standard floor sits a few inches higher than a 2WD version." This seems to mean that if I remove the spare wheel and the raised boot floor, I would then need to buy a boot floor which is made specifically for the shape of the wheel well in a 4x4 Yeti. Is this correct? Any comments gratefully received. Also sorry for posting twice, I cannot delete my earlier post.

Hi folks, I am looking at buying a Yeti which currently has a spare wheel fitted and therefore a raised boot floor - if I wanted the option of the lowering boot floor and taking out the spare wheel, for car camping, I understand that I need to buy a puncture repair kit and the polystyrene tray that it's housed in, plus I'd also need to source the boot floor that would sit on top of the (now empty) wheel well. The existing boot floor that sits on top of the spare wheel is not one of the variable ones - it isn't shaped to be able to lie on the bottom of the boot floor once the wheel and supports are removed. My questions are 1) Is the standard lower boot floor + puncture repair kit for Yetis with no spare wheel easy to source - and if so where would I get it from? And 2), is the wheel well in all Skoda Yeti's the same, or is the one with a spare wheel different, meaning I cannot easily just buy a standard issue boot floor to lower it? I intend on keeping the spare wheel setup most of the time but remove it and have a lower floor when I do a camping conversion (if that's possible?)
