Do you use the cargo cover much?

    Haven't used mine. Just gets in the way. I have dark tint on the windows for security.

    Screaming children should always ride in the back seat with a belt, not in the trunk! Sorry, I couldn't resist.

    Never used mine. I have dark tint on the hatch glass and it is very difficult to see the cargo contents from outside.

    Always use it.

    On a quick glance, it does not look like a cover concealing cargo.. The only theft we have around here is car break ins.

    It also keeps groceries shielded from sun.


    I agree with the fact that a little less area to heat and cool. I don't think the AC/Heater system is so great in this car.

    I'm going to bite on the grey one for $40.00. i put a snipe on it. Even with $20. shipping, it's still only a little over 16% of the cost of a dealer one.

    Received my (new) Ebay smart key today. Will shop around for cost to program it before I turn over the car to our 19 1/2 year old son, who is currently studying Arabic at University and volunteering teaching Middle East History in English to Elementary students in Palestine. He's coming home in December and headed for Georgetown.

    If you can get it for $40 and $20 shipping that is a great deal.

    I'll let you know if I win. I'm the ultimate Ebay shopper. Not afraid to loose because there will always be nother one, no matter how rare.

    Cargo storage compartment under the floor? Shoot, did I miss this in the manual? When I picked my car up (2009, silver) the tonneau was already installed.

    When I have to haul lots of junk, I remove the cover and place it anywhere - I will have to look for this - secret - compartment for the cover.

    Thanks, I learn something new every time I visit these forums!
