Re: Rolling rear cover to hide luggage etc

I can't tell you how much one costs as I was given my when I bought the car. However I can tell you that fitting is very easy. Drill 4 holes and screw an end cap on each side of the luggage area - the cover then just clips in and out as needed. You will probably find that there are two clips to fit on the back door pillars - again an easy job if they are not fitted. Pull away the rubber seal from the door - pull trim forward and screw in a screw to a nut (on the inside of trim) - ensure you fit a washer so it doesn't pull on the trim.
There are two similar clips on the back of the rear seats. The cover I have pulls out on a a "double extension basis" as mine is a Long Whell Base model and covers the entire luggage area when the seats are folded down.
The whole job took me about an hour max.
Good luck.

Thinking about this for my SWB, reckon some good trimmer could probably make something up, just a case of finding the right person who is interested .
