Question Third Row Seat means no luggage Cover?

I just notice on my GX, with the 3rd row seats, that there is no place to mount the Luggage cover in the cargo area. Is it hidden or am I out of luck?

Thanks,

Read that but, I wasn't referring to the cargo mat. I was referring to the Luggage pull over cover bar. I won't have the 3rd row in my car most of the time and it would be nice to cover what I have stored. Also, where did you get your cargo area mat from? The all weather one did not seem to have cutouts that came out.

From what I was told by my dealership, there is no option for a luggage cover if you have the 3rd row seating. Notice, there are no pre-cut holes for the cover to lock it in place.

My suggestion: Tint your windows as dark as the law allows.

Default I'm having one installed

I didn't want the third row (got it anyway) and the seats are being stored in my basement until I sell the car. But I did want the luggage cover so I asked the dealer to order and install. They got the cover in almost immediately but it took two more "orders" to get the mounting hardware and then the "template" with the mounting instructions. They are going to install on Wed 4/23 - I will be happy to post pics afterwards. I think that if I wanted/needed to put the third row back in it should be no problem - I'll just have to remove the cover - the mounts won't interfere.

The cost (which I forgot to discuss until the cover arrived) is NOT INEXPENSIVE. THe dealer is charging me $700! I'm not sure I would have done it had I known that in advance but I assume the more handy individuals on the board can do it themselves. I couldn't so I'm biting the bullet.

How much of the $700 was parts?

Your question prompted me to look at the bill more closely....The parts cost $727 and there was no labor charge. Not sure what to make of that...did they give me a "break" or is that the way it always works. Don't know if that means you "can't" do it yourself or if the part is available somewhere for much less without the installation.

FYI - the part is called "Cover Assembly, Tonneau Cover" (Part Number 6491060080A0).

They just didn't break it down. I can't see Lexus doing this for free unless you just purchase the car from them and it was part of the deal.
