snowing pretty good, but thinking i can just toss in the factory cover on the GE8
like on my GD i thought it would be a quick 1-2min ordeal.

i walk out with my driver (drill) and pliers. frikken thing is clumsy to install.

First the clips that attach to the gate for the prop-up rope is metal. yah, metal
on metal = scratched paint on the gate. wtf

then the 5 buttons you need to drill into the back of the rear seats. there's no
template or anything, just an illustration that shows how it should generally look.
wtf again. in the snow i pushed the button screw into the back seat pretty good
with my Milwaukee drill... no go. the hell? i must have not 'hit the spot' right but
no way to tell cause there's no template or measurements where the buttons are
suppose to go.

after snow got into the trunk and started to accumulate i gave up on the buttons
for another attempt later on when it stops snowing.

another thing... you have to slide the cargo cover into the car at a precise
angle or it will not slide in. it's a clumsy pos, imho... if you're in a rush a lot or
carry larger items frequently dont get the cover and just tint your windows.
07-08 Fits win hands down as far as cargo cover. lol
