Default Good pet cover for cargo area?

My "goodboy" gets hair EVERYWHERE. Looking for a well fitting pet cover for the cargo area. Does anyone have any they recommend?
Thanks!

For $35 this one from Amazon is awesome. Fits the GX perfectly and it’s long enough to cover the entire 2nd row when folded. Has a long tail you can open to cover the whole rear bumper, or fold it under when not needed.

Thanks! Hm... I was looking at a different one that covers the sides a bit more... decisions decisions.

Edit: Ordered it to try out. Thanks!

I have also wondered if it makes sense to put some kind of “screen” on the rear HVAC intake. Mine is always covered in hair after the dog rides back in there and I am sure it is sucking in hair too!

Thinking about cutting one of these down to size, attaching with velcro or something:

Got this one today... way too long for me. Too thick when folding under.

A little update.. I was able to shorten it by tucking a foot or two under the third row.. right as it meets the second row.

That's exactly what I do with mine. I tuck some excess under the 3rd row and fold enough under the rear to allow covering the bumper as needed. It's survived lots of messy cargo so far and for the price I'm happy. That extra length comes in handy when you fold the 2nd row flat.

Just... raise the third row, tuck some of the liner down by the back of the second row, and put the third row back down.

Yeah, I can see how that would be handy.

I just _also_ ordered this one:

Decided to order it in the color of the dog rather than the color of the interior.. haha
I like this design because it covers the area right on the sides between the second row seats. That's an area where lots of hair sneaks through.
This looks like it'll be a bit small, and may require me to cut a hole for the A/C vents... we'll see how it fits.

Some follow-up...

As I suspected, the FrontPet is a bit too small, but I still prefer it and am going to keep it.

I also added a pre-filter in front of the A/C intake vent.
