How to use it

Step by step.

  1. 01

    Unhook the cover from both rear anchors and let it retract slowly.

  2. 02

    Compress one end and lift the cover assembly out of its side recesses.

  3. 03

    Open the rear deck board and remove the side deck covers.

  4. 04

    If the deck board is currently resin-side up, remove the board as Toyota instructs.

  5. 05

    Place both ends of the retracted luggage cover into the under-floor holders, confirm it is secure, then reinstall the side covers and deck board.

Important limits

  • Make sure the cover is securely installed or stowed; a loose assembly can become a projectile during sudden braking or a collision.
  • Never place objects on the extended cover and do not allow children to climb on it.
  • Let the cover retract under control so cargo is not caught in the roll and the mechanism is not damaged.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If the assembly does not fit the holders, fully retract it and verify that the side deck covers have been removed.
  • ✓If the resin side of the deck board is facing up and blocks access, remove the board rather than forcing the cover underneath.
  • ✓If the cover will not extend smoothly after reinstalling, reseat both compressed ends squarely in their recesses before hooking the anchors.
