Rear Cargo Cover
 

I just got my car a couple days ago :happydance:. It's a 2010 PW Nismo, I'll save the pics for my official intro thread. Anyway one of the factory parts I would like is the rear car go cover. The only good post I found searching about adding the cover in a non-touring was this one by Kevr6:
http://www.the370z.com/exterior-inte...-retracts.html
The dealer agreed to replace all the trunk panels needed to make it work on his car and honored their agreement to include it with his purchase.

My car actually came with the piece on the under side of the hatch with the hooks, and the interior trunk quarter panel piece already has what appears to be anchors (see pics below). This raises a couple questions.

For me:

-Am I set to just get the rolling cover and be good to go?

-The rear cargo cover retails for like $325 or $350. WTF are they smoking lol, there better be 2 $100 bills attached to the roll when you pull it out for the first time. Is there a dealer that sells at wholesale or better?

For the community:

-I thought the Nismo was based off the Sport model which is what I think Kevr6 has. Did '09 Nismo models have the same anchors and hooks like me or is it new for 2010?

-Are maybe all 2010's coming with these panels, because if so they didn't mention this change for 2010 with the heated mirrors and mico-filter?

why don't you just tint the rear glass and get a backup camera?

I don't like dark tint and that still doesn't make whatever you have in the back covered. Any kind of light pretty much makes that idea useless. Also I'm not seeing how a rear view camera solves hiding your items and keeping things in the back from glaring or reflecting on the back glass/rear view mirror when driving.

why dont you get a daily driver and use your z as a fun car like me? problem solved. :D

If I didn't already have 2 car payments I might. Maybe I'll just borrow yours and you can drive your Z more :tiphat:

I'm going to go by a dealer maybe this weekend and look at a touring just to confirm. Until then I welcome any further comments on the subject. kevr6 already told me on a PM it looks like it should go in.

Thanks.

Go test drive a touring and put the cover on the side of the road when driving it and go get it on the way home haha! JK

Crossed my mind....

Small update. The part number for the rolling cover is:

84982-1EA0A

Vipor ('09 Nismo) confirmed that his car did not come with the trunk panels already set up to accept the cargo cover, so this is a change for 2010 Nismo models.

Still don't know if 2010 Base/Sport are coming that way or not.

tru dat, no hooks. didn't even think about it until i saw omnomz's T/S at the ZCoT meet

At least you already have some of the materials (IE panels, hooks). I wanted this earlier and after finding out how much it would cost to purchase and install...I'd rather use that money towards leather heated seats...

I'll be happy to sell my cargo cover (never used) for $250 and I'll pay for the shipping.
G FO12Ce gets first shot.

JPIT,
Thanks a lot. I PM'd you what my local parts guy quoted me on a new one(he hooks it up good). Let me know what you think.

Thanks in advance.

I thought I'd post an update. Thanks to Jpit for the rear cargo cover, it was packaged well and looks new.

I installed it and took a few pics. I also tried to take a pic of the glare before, the white plastic bag that was glaring didn't show well in pictures (probably because I didn't realize part of my backround was white) but the green towel did. You get the idea.

I also took some pics of the cargo net I picked up. They are the same part number as the 350Z. I found one 15 minutes from me on Craigslist for $5!

Hi, I've got the 2010 Nismo Z as well. I also appear to have those 'indentations' in the side panels that look like they are the "brackets" for the retractable cargo cover as well. Can you indeed confirm that all you needed was part number 84982-1EA0A and it was just a "drop in" install (you were just able to basically snap it in yourself, no need for a dealer install or mods to the car?)

Thanks!
