Default Hot to install the cargo shade

2LT so I got the 2 piece cargo shade. No instructions to install it. Can anyone help me with this? Tried to search it but no joy.

They both have elastic loops on the corners, and the larger one also 4 buckles.

The larger one goes closer to the floor, and those 4 buckles clip onto the rings on the floor and behind the speakers. The remaining 2 elastic loops should be pretty obvious. Just stretch and hook them over the recessed plastic studs you see in plain sight.

The smaller piece hooks onto the underside of the deck lid with 4 studs.

PM me your email address and I'll send you a photo if you need it.

When all else fails read the manual...duh. Section 4. Took all of 30 seconds to install.

I have 3LT and the "1-piece" version was 'specified' by dealer....bought it...looks nice with logo, but only covers HALF of the luggage I had on recent 2,200 mile trip. Don't get why they suggest a half-size for us 3LT owners ??

Get some 20% tint and you wont need the shade.

The cargo shade for the C7 is a two piece shade. You can only use one piece if you want, but you need the second piece to cover the entire cargo area.
