I bought a brand new Scion cargo cover several months back and decided not to install it. I paid $175 for it and am asking $125 shipped. Never installed. You can visit my for-sale thread here:

awesome price. if i didn't have one already i'd scoop it up in a second.

 

Ditto

 

Hmmm... maybe I should just install it. Do you guys really like it? Does it ever get in the way? I have nothing to hide like a sub so I figured why bother adding unnecessary weight.

 

It weighs hardly anything and install is fairly simple, albeit a little scary drilling holes with the hole saw. But, take your time and it'll be cool. The hardest/scariest part is putting in the metal hangers on the hatch itself. It's right next to the rear windshield and I was afraid of screwing it up and breaking something, so just take it to the dealer for that part they shouldn't charge you anything. Anyways since you already got it I'd say install it unless you need the cash, even though you're gonna take a loss for it. If you are gonna sell it put it on craigslist for $120-150 and save yourself the hassle of shipping it plus you'd recoup more of your money.

 

im ____ed because mine came with the mounts installed but not the cover. Good Luck.

 

I'm not really concerned with the installation or the extra weight although 5lbs is still 5 lbs. The main reason I haven't installed it is that I'm afraid it will get in the way when loading larger cargo and if I have to remove it, where do I put the big tray? I much prefer the retracting type cover although I can see why that style isn't appropriate for such a short cargo area. I've also slept in the back before and wonder where I'd stash the cover if I wanted to do this again. It just seems like it could be in the way at times.

 

i wish the front seats would fold flat so i could actually lay down to camp in it.

 

IIRC someone posted that if you remove the head rests, the front seats recline flat with the rear seat. I forgot to try it...

 

Put it right behind the front seats when the back back rest is put down. I've taken off the front seat head rest and pushed the seat all the way forwor, then the back rest down and it doesn't lay flat.

 

Thanks but I think I'd rather sell it instead. That's disappointing news that the front seat don't recline even with the rear seats. I've still managed to sleep pretty well with my seat reclined all the way or in back with the back seats folded down. It's a bit hard though, an air mattress would help.

Hey Rich, the cover is new, never installed but it was removed from the original box. Installation instructions are included as well as all necessary hardware, templates, etc. I have an interested buyer but he hasn't paid for it yet. I'm asking $125 shipped and for $140 shipped I'll throw in a NIB Scion cargo net. PM me if still interested.

 

That's a really good price.

 

As that old man in the GodFather's Pizza Commercials used to say, "DOO IIIIIT!!!"
