Yeah, it's for the trunk space. I apparently never ordered this with my vehicle and desperately want one. Total brain fart i suppose, but really don't want to pay the dealer mark-up for one. Any help would greatly be appreciated!

Same here 2016 premium ecru interior, would like an ecru cargo cover. I checked the cargo area and it looks like the caps are in place where the cover would attach.

I was thrilled that it came with the Luxury Package....until I actually tried using it. It is a total piece of cow dung. I'd be embarrassed to come up with such a pile of crap....for a Kia. The fact that its a Lexus item should be a down right embarrassment.

The area where it it's truly awful is the part that is supposed to attach to the headrests on the second row seats. It is sitting in my garage and will likely never go in our vehicle again unless I decide to take a razor knife and cut that piece off.

The back windows are tinted, what is the real purpose of this device? I took it out as soon as I brought my car home on day 1. It is sitting in my basement, where it will continue to sit until it is time to return the car.

The cover keeps valuables out of sight, even with the tint shopping bags or our Yeti coolers can be targets for theft. If they can't see it they won't try to steal it. Unfortunately we live in a large city where car break ins can be a concern... but I don't plan on spending $360 to order one from EBay. I'd pay $150 max.

I drive in the city a lot and have to park on the streets. They break into your cars for anything here in Atlanta and I simply want to keep my things out of sight. Would love to buy one used from someone that isn't using theirs!

I find no need to worry about it in my newly moved in area. However, I may still need the cover to visit new places when it is getting warmer.

In general, don't put things (Camera/Phone/Pad/Wallet/bags/Sun glasses/even coins) in sight in bad /unknown neighborhoods.

Don't say I didn't warn you. I have owned a number of SUVs with them, so trust me on this.

I live in the safest city in Georgia according to 2015 statistics. Cars unlocked is still an occasional problem here. My neighborhood was hit with someone walking throu and stealing out of unlocked cars in the early am. People are comfortable living in a well known safe area so cars in the driveway are not locked. A cover of any type would not have made a difference. I agree to keep things out of site, but also add, lock your doors no mater how comfortable you are in your your neighborhood. I keep my truck in the garage.

Just a FYI

Sorry to hear that.
So, everyone was in sleep, nobody loaded the gun and shot the alien?

Even some bank vaults got robbed, a cover can just help a little bit, still better than nothing.

Thanx for your reminder.
