Can you still get into the under floor storage and side storage areas without removing it completely?

adentonmiller

Yes, you can. It's fully flexible and just moves out of the way.

Personally, I hate the side storage areas - they look a but unfinished to me. I do like - and use - the underfloor though (both levels).

Just one more question - how is it fixed in place?

adentonmiller

Elastic straps around the rear seat headrests (that you can't see once they are in place), a pair of suction cups that attach to the trunk windows and a tab that slips under the floor compartment lid. the shape of the thing pretty much keeps it in place anyway.

smarty156

Thanks. That could be a problem then as I have the sun blinds in the rear side windows.

Alasdair - would you be able to do me a favour?
Can you detach the suckers from the side windows and drive around a bit like that to see if it still stays in place alright? I really can't find anything else that looks as good.
What colour is it by the way as my carpet is black? Is there a choice of colours?

Thanks very much.

Hi Martin,

OK - I detached the window suckers and drove around for a while and it all stayed in place fine. However - it got me to thinking that a simple modification would probably work well......If you were to sew/glue some velcro hook to the back of the thing in a couple of locations, it would work great with no need for window suckers.

Colour is black....I don't think there are any options.


Cheers,

Alasdair

Brilliant - thanks Alasdair.
I'm reluctant to use velcro as it won't always be in the boot I don't think. Just if we go out and we're likely to get muddy/wet. I don't have a dog, just a 2 1/2 year old little boy who loves muddy puddles! I'd be concerned attaching and detaching the velcro would cause the carpet threads to be pulled. If it works without attaching the suckers then that's fine for occasional use.

Thanks again - very helpful.

Actually, had a thought that you could probably attach a small strip of velcro on the plastic between the side rear windows and the parcel shelf, near where the suckers would go anyway. Is that what you meant? I think that would actually work quite well.
I'm going to order one.

Do you have any pictures of that in place - and also of the tray you mentioned?

I seem to remember seeing a tray in the accesories book, and want to get one to keep the carpet looking cool.

Cheers
