Thanks rocky, I thought that was what they were but wanted to be sure it wasn't something left by the previous owner.

Congrats on your C7 and the shades you found are nice to have when you don’t want someone to see what you have in the trunk.

The C7 cargo shades look like a berserk origami project.
I use just the horizontal one, usually don't have anything in the trunk that needs to be hidden. Or so much that there's no way to hide it.
