To keep the cargo area floor out of the way, the plastic hook is designed to hold the floor ouf of the way by attaching to the top of the roof sill. The jack is underneath the cargo storage bin. Remove the cargo storage bin by removing each of the four clips holding the bin to the floor by pulling straight up on the ring. Lift up and remove the bin. The jack is underneath.
