Does anyone in the free world know where I could get an original RS cargo blind. They are particularly rare bacause the Aust delivered RS is the only one in the world with the Char Black interior and there were so few wagons delivered in the first place.

My car never had one and it would come in real handy to cover all my work crap up in the boot area.

Which of you wagon boys still have yours?

Still got mine but had to have it mounted differently when I got my rear strut brace.....er sorry cargo barrier put in. :D

I saw one on the footpath recently that someone had put out for hard refuse collection. Came back 30 mins later to get it and it was gone. It may have been grey though, but I have a friend with a GX and I think his is black.

Don't have a pic yet, but can get one. I have a dig camera at work that I've taken home every night since this board went up but haven't got off my ass and taken any snaps yet.

The cargo blind used to rattle and squeak, along with the tailgate, but I swear the cargo barrier has firmed things up a bit cos the tailgate doesn't rattle now. I've even left it in when I'm on the track to see if theres any difference in handling, with many strange looks from the rex boyz. It weighs a ton though so I think I'll take it out next time but it's a handy accessory to have. I had about 500kg of pavers in the back the other weekend - try doing that in a Rex. The blind doesn't really make much noise either but as I said, it now mounts to the cargo barrier which is what's stopped it from squawking.

I HATE YOU ALL WITH A PASSION - j/k.

I assumed they would rattle to some degree, but then the exhaust can drown it out!

I just want a to cover crap up, I wouldn't care if it were even one from a GX or something. But even they are apparently hard to find.

If you want to stop[ the rattles, maybe line the pins at the ends with rubber of fabric tape, and even the ends of the holes it sits in as well. I idi that with the parecl shelf in my last car and it cured it straight away (just a thought, its probably heavier than a parcel shelf).
