But what I did for now is made use of the child safety seat anchor in the hatch area. Instead of using the included tie-down straps with the Hideaway, I used another strap I had lying around that was originally meant to be a shoulder strap for a camera bag. Basically, it had an adjustable buckle on it to change the length of the strap, and both ends had plastic snap hooks.

(See web link below for an example of the type I'm talking about.)

I was able to tighten it around the right-hand side of the Kicker Hideaway, attaching both hooks to the metal attachment point intended for a child car seat.

The unit is heavy enough so that keeps it pretty much in place, even without anything tying it down on the left-hand side.
