The original model worked amazing well and lasted for over 2 years. However it slowly started to warp & deform from the strain. I redesigned the model (with some engineering help) to increase the strength and avoid the hook warping. Link to updated OnShape Model
Changes
- Fix Hook Warp: Added a support rib to the back
- Fix Nut Warp: Adjusted hex nut placement
- Improve Print: Chamfer edges instead fillet
- Improve Print: No need for supports

This is a replacement part for the spare tire hook/hoist on a 2015-2019 Nissan Versa Note.
The bolt & hook assembly on my car rusted together and a replacement hook & bolt was $100+. I designed a parametric hook in OnShape, printed using PETG (for extra strength & durability) and picked up a ½ inch galvanized bolt and nut my local hardware store. Total cost was under $10.
I have been driving with it since September of 2021 and it is still working flawlessly.
