Is the rear cargo cover worth buying?

luigi90210 · 07-11-2013, 11:47 AM

Its up to you really. I have one and I almost never use it because I never carry stuff with my Z but when I do, I usually use it.

I got mine for free though when I bought the car. You're paying for yours, just see if you'll use it enough to really warrant buying it.

My Touring came with one, I latched it once and never touched it again. It does keep the trunk private.

I like it. I keep it down pretty much 100% of the time too.

'nother nice thing about having it and using it: go to walmart, and for about $8 buy their plastic storage bin (21"L X 10"H X 15"W) to put your groceries, etc in and they won't roll around the trunk, as the cargo cover traps the bin...

If your back window is tinted, you probably won't need it too much. It's also a bit noisy if you have it retracted if you are carrying bulky items in the back. For the amount of money you'll be paying for this cover, you're better off investing it elsewhere on your car.

I love mine. Going to the thrify shop tomorroe to donate some stuff so it covers a plethora of embarassments.

I still want the tint for the heat too.

Yes, worth it, No, no rattling noises.

I bought one for my 2011 I got seven weeks ago. The cover came from Courtesy Nissan. No rattles. i also have tinred windows but wanted this as well.

Bananaz · 01-07-2014, 12:31 AM

I wanted one also but just going with tint instead. Light tint only so you'll still see but at night it'll be hard to see through(anti-theft measure)

Does anybody still have one of these they would like to sell for the $80.00 I've seen in earlier posts? SoCal here and would like one! PM me!

Zoren 370 · 07-07-2014, 12:05 AM

One of the best investments I made with the Z since I do not have a tint!

Got_Z · 07-07-2014, 01:56 AM

Mine came with it. I leave it on about 99 percent of the time but I probably wouldn't pay more than 100 bucks for one if I didn't have it. Just tint your car.

Sounds like it's worth it to you. It was for me. It was not the easiest thing to track down. I finally found one on eBay being sold by a dealer. Brand new for $200..

I leave it latch about 50% of the time. No rattles or noises
