If the number of times I've used mine is any indication, that's about 3 pounds GM could have left off.

I use it both to hide things when I'm at shows and when parked somewhere I don't want the general public to see what's under there...so I guess you could say I use it for it's intended purpose.

There was someone that made vinyl "CORVETTE" logo to stick on the shade. I would really like to get one of those because I do use mine.

I have the shade pulled out all the time to hide my amp. Also, from the outside it makes the interior look a lot cleaner.

I Use Mine!

Sometimes I'll use it at a car show to cover up the towels and other cleanup stuff I use. Also, when I'm on the road I tend to use it to cover up items like my camcorder case and travel bags. I'm lucky that the shades in both of my C4s have worked without a hitch!

Whenever the top is on the shade is pulled. Other's don't need to know what's in there.

I have mine pulled all the time. I don't have tinited windows so I use it to keep the original carpet from fading. Also, I don't want people to see what's in the back.

Mine is always closed. The only time it isn't is if there's something in the hatch that won't fit under it.

I'd have mine pulled more, but it always slides under the little "holders". I guess I have to get those improved ones (with the extra "latch" from ecklers.
