I was thinking about getting the cargo cover but I decided not too after spending money on my all season floor mats. Ha... I'm just using a Rubbermaid Roughneck Storage Box for now.

 

I really like the OEM cargo cover, but there's no way it's worth upwards of $100. I'd happily pay $60 or so for it, but more than that is ridiculous.

I like what you guys have done here.

 

nice....
inspires me to make my own cargo cover.....
hmmm

 

The spray on bedliner Idea is a good one. Makes a durable coating, plus would dull the edges a bit so it doesn't cut anything. Plus it won't scratch if you throw shit on it. I thought about using MDF and coating it with vehicle undercoating(sound deadener), and putting a pair of 8 inch free air woofers and mount the amp underneath.

I have the OEM cover and it works, but its kinda ghetto IMO. sure it retracts and shit, but if I am not using it, its not in my car. Plus my windows are 5%, you can't see into the car anyway.

 

nb nb final pic?

 

I made one of my own. I used a / plyboard as the base.

 

I made a hinged cover out of Coroplast (the stuff they make signs out of these days)To stiffen it I mounted aluminum "L" bracket lengthwise on the 2 halves and hinged them with piano hinge. I put a hole one either side of the rearmost edge and put shoelace through the holes. On other end of those I attached short pieces of sheet metal strapping bent into a "V" shape. These I hooked into the window frame so the rear half would lift when the hatch opened.

 

look coool.. musta took a lot of work.. nice going!
