Plastic tabs that hold the rear cargo shade-broken
Well, who ever engineered the stupid little tabs in the rear cargo that are supposed to hold the cargo shade failed miserably. Both have broken off. So, time for some home grown remedy: drill a small pilot hole, and install a small black screw and we are back in business:

that looks horrible. They are easily replaceable and cheap. Part numbers are on the forum somewhere. Order a few if need be...

The part number is: 25913048. Be advised they cost about $8 each after tax at the dealers part dept.

Order them if you want but mine were replaced under warranty. I had them replaced when my car went in for the creaky roof TSB fix. I saved the old ones, used gorilla glue to put them back together and then spray painted them black. Now I have two spares.

This ! With luck, by the time my basic warranty expires, one of our vendors will have a metal snap in replacement on the market.

Mine snapped from pressure applied as it covered some oversize suitcases. I now take the top portion of the cover off when I use that set. Problem solved. And ya they replace them under warranty anyways
