Photos of retractable cargo cover installed.

When researching the retractable cargo cover, I wasn't able to find any photos showing the "gaps" behind the seats and at the rear that everyone was discussing. I decided that some coverage in the cargo area is better than none, and got a good price on it at my local dealer, so I went ahead and bought one.

Also, I was curious before buying how it attached inside the truck. One end is spring-loaded, and that allows you to install it similar to a shower curtain. The ends pop into the square recesses on the side walls in the rear. Easily removable for when you need to fold the seats down and haul something large.

Thought these photos might help anyone researching this product.

Cell phone photo through the back window, showing the gap that allows the seats to recline. I understand the need for this gap to allow the seats to move:

Showing the seats fully reclined:

Looking toward the gap at the back window. Not sure there is a good excuse for this from a design standpoint.

It's not a perfect product, but all in all, it does conceal a good bit of the cargo area, and for $105 + tax, it might save a break-in down the road, so I would buy it again. You could potentially be strategic about where under the cover you place your cargo, to prevent it from being seen at certain angles.

I bought this with my LE with the 3rd row. So far I find it fits really well next to my skis in the garage and that's where it's been for a while now. Retracting and pulling it back over I find is a giant pain, even with the 3rd row seat belts in the little latches the cover will get caught on them and is generally hard to get in place. I don't know if I would buy it again. I think it would work better if you didn't have the 3rd row.

I'm pretty sure it's the same cover, I'm wondering if the second row go further in front to better access to third row.
 
I carry a 6x8 foot black table cloth ($8 Wal-mart). I toss that over cargo when I'm carrying paintings and such to art shows. With the dark tinted back windows and a black cloth cover you can see absolutely nothing carried in the back from the outside. Gear is carried in plastic boxes from Wal-Mart and paintings are carried in vertical carboard boxes with cardboard dividers between paintings.

When off-roading; everything is carried in the same Wal-Mart plastic boxes.
 
yeah I took mine out and its sitting somewhere in the garage.

my 2004 got it right, this 2014 setup is pointless.

to get rid of that gap, you have to recline the seats, but that angle is very un natural unless you intend to sleep the whole trip. its like the first notch on a lay-z-boy recliner.
