Default What is that retractable cover on the 78-82's called?

It's the roll out cover in the rear with the single handle that covers goodies in the hatch from view.

I'm trying figure it out, I thought it was a retractable cargo cover but I may be wording it wrong.

Thanks!

Don't quote me, but isn't it the luggage compartment shade?
