Wow, it's amazing what a dummy can work out with enough time! (monkeys/typewriters etc etc....):eek:

Maybe I'm the only one who gets annoyed with my non-retracting soft cargo cover in the boot of my RRS getting in the way when loading.I usually flip it over the back seat, but I came accross a solution by accident. Just pull it out a bit further and up and it sits out the way against the frame :D

I think I've attatched a photo, not very tech savvy.

Anyone else got any "blimey that's clever" tips?

Cheers.
Rohan.

The rear cargo blind on my RRS auto retracts - yours is obviously faulty.

Yes it is.
Tip still applies to working blinds if you cant be bothered or are too short to reach :)

My blind sits in my wardrobe where it is safe, never to be attached to the car again until I sell it! I also found the one from my VW Multivan in there and that was sold. I forgot to put it back in the car!

Not a fan of the blind Bob? :)

No. All it does is get in the way, especially if you use the third row seats in the D4. At least the RRS doesn't have that problem. I just take mine out and save the weight so I don't have to worry about it when I change configurations.

It is very clever the way the blind fits into a slot in the floor between seats when they are folded down flat in the D4 but no good when they are up.

I also have my son's D1 blind in my wardrobe so he is not a fan either! Not much room for clothes any more.

In some of the places near where I work if you don't use the blind you'll come back to a smashed window and something missing...

Not uncommon to pull up in the town (not where I live, where I work) and have a few of them looking into the vehicles windows before you even walk away. :eek:

Anything visible - Phone, Coin in tray, CDs, iPods, Smokes... And the window will be broken...

I suppose belting them sensless (relative statement) with the blind is unacceptable?..... :wasntme:
