    Hi all, quick question on the cargo cover. When I received the car, the cover was extended with the small end piece flap pointing slightly upwards. This covered the lower window of the hatchback a little, but the plus side is that there is no rattling.

    I've noticed that the flap settles in either a horizontal, or upwards position. I'm not sure if this is by design.

    I've adjusted the end flap so that it is horizontal, but the cover rattles now. How do you have your cover set?

    If I remember correctly, the edge of the cover settles in a slightly downward angle....

    I have mine set mostly horizontal with a slight downward angle. No rattling for me, and I retract and pull out the cover very regularly.

    Hmm, I notice some kind of rattling from the back too. Time to investigate if it's the cargo cover, thanks.

    On another note I've been thinking of how to block the sun's heat by covering the big rear window. Now can we use the cargo cover to do that by mounting it up high near the ceiling? another thing to investigate!

    Lot's of people that have heard rattling from the back come to find that the back headrests are the culprit. Make sure they are locked into place.
