Cargo Area Shade

Post by muttleytm »

I just got a used 2005 Vibe. It was missing the cargo security shade. From what I read the OEM one isn't very good and I'd be better off making one myself. I've seen some pictures of some people have made here and on the web.

Does anyone have an actual template or scale drawing (CAD or otherwise) for the shade itself?

It doesn't have to be perfect per say. The OEM one has adjustable straps for the plastic hooks so it's not even 100% made to fit; it's adjustable. I got the OEM one with my used 03.

The OEM shade is the one I've always used and it works fine. Once you learn the little trick about snapping it in, it's easy.

Trick? What trick? You clip it on the 4 loops. Done. :lol:

The window shade style retracting kind would have been better like some cars/SUVs have, but it is what it is.
