I don't understand the "secure" comment though - all it does is hide what's in the back and you can do that with a blanket just as easily.

Maybe I have been around crime too long. I truly appreciate your response Happy New Year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatee Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 (edited) Jmackie75 - the cargo cover does indeed cover the contents of the cargo hold well. However I would advise you that you would probably not be happy with it. It does not retract like most people think. Instead it actually has rubber bands which connect to the rear headrests and then a clear plastic hook that connects to a glued on receiver near the rear of the vehicle. No kidding, I am not making this stuff up. I have one that's been in my closet for a few years. When I ordered my 11, I was sure not to pay for this thing again. In other words, buyer beware.

Thanks, Goatee I appreciate. I still am amazed that this issue has slipped through Lincolns' cracks. Why leave such a nice interior 98% finished is beyond me. So a 43 thousand dollar vehicle, which has no cargo cover. Here sir we can sell you a cargo cover rigged with rubber bands and clear hook, it is a half assed solution for your car. Oh well, I will find someone or figure out something. Happy New year to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choff1138 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Because of the reclining rear seats the solution had to be different than the retractable style - It works to cover and looks ok when on. Not much need for me, but I have it incase I do want to put it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
