Load cover !

Post by Mark-RS » Wed May 20, 2020 5:54 pm

Am I doing something wrong with this crappy load cover ?

It's the second one I've had in a year and the second one that now refuses to retract !

I'm never rough with it at all, just use it lightly. Went to put something in the boot earlier and it's just laying all floppy ! And nobody like a floppy !

Are they really that crap ? Limited to second hand ones as there are apparently none new anymore.

There's a fix you can do by the way to sort them - I found one on google. It involves making a repair as the plastic breaks. Prob an age thing!
