Default Scion Cargo cover is a piece of crap

Did anyone else purchase this? Its the cheapest thing I've ever seen, if anyone is thinking about buying it, please let me know and I'll sell you mine for 1/2 the price... what a waste. The dealer won't even let me return it since they said it was a special order.

Agreed! That's the only accessory I bought from the dealer. I was thinking of replacing the stupid adjustable straps that come on it with some elastic to make it less goddamned saggy.

Agree. Certainly not worth the $55 the dealer charged. But I wanted something to cover the rear section. It's a shame this one is so poorly designed. Humm, like the idea of the elastic straps. But rather spend the time doing other more worthwhile mods.

Dude, dealer only charged me $40, you got jacked. You should have purchased it as a over the counter part from the dealer. $55 is the price installed.... same goes with mats and all the other accessories that you can install yourself.

$25 shipped! Brand new, OEM.

Anyone know if there is a neoprene cover or something elastic?

yeah i got suckered on this one too. I think, the reason its all lame and saggy is because there's speakers back there and they didnt want to block the sound too much. thats the only explination for the lameness i can think of.

Even at $40 I would say the buyer got "jacked". I could tie a bedsheet across my cargo bay and it'd be about as functional as the OEM cover.

If the cargo cover is too bulky it may block out a lot of the speaker sound. I can't really think of a better reason than covering up your subs or "precious cargo" that's in the back from prying eyes. I find however that with the privacy glass, it's pretty hard to spot anything back there...

Got mines for X-mas it is a piece of crap to remove and put on. But it does do the job it covers the cargo area.

It sucks soooo bad! I don't even use it. Most things stick up too high anyway, so I end up taking it off. I just don't put it on anymore. It's such a pain to put back on... I'd rather just drape it over what ever I'm trying to hide. I was sooo disapointed.

I used mine to hold my tube subwoofer in place until I found something more permanent.

Just connected the clips to one side and put the tube in the middle. It kept it from rolling around... A Bazooka hammock (OK, POS NoName tube hammock) :oops:

Other than that it's useless. I coulda bought roll of Glad Clingwrap and made something more substantial...
