Yesterday I did my seasonal inflation check on the spare tire and once again got to wondering what the webbing straps are supposed to do under the spare tire cover. There are four straps - two attach to the vehicle near the rear seat and one attaches on each side of the spare well. They all are attached just on one end. Am I missing something here? Is something supposed to bind them all together? They don't appear to serve any useful purpose. This is on an '18 SV AWD. Just wondering. Thanks.

They're supposed to keep the movable shelf from falling out of the car, but they're too long to actually restrain it and most of our customers find them useless. We generally find them loose in the bottom of the well just like yours.
