trunk cover

I'm I the only person who find this piece annoying? Today I couldn't bring home a 2x2x3 box because I couldn't figure out how to remove the bar. Do any you you guys permenantly remove the bar?? I see it's held there by a couple of screws.

Nope never had any trouble with it, and nope have not considered permenantly removing the bar. For me it comes out BAM. Set it on the floor in front of the back seats. And that's it period. Dropped those seats and Drove home with 2 Mirrored closet doors 97 inches long fully boxed.

Yeah mine just lifts out. No removal of screws required. Have to be a little rough with it though.

I got tired of fighting mine so it has been removed permanently for quite a while. It also rattled which drove me nuts. FYI, I have the '02 version which is not as good as the '03 and newer roll-up cargo cover. There is a retrofit possible but it's not worth it to me.

My cargo cover is damaged too because those stupid geared ends would not go back into the block so some teeth got broken off. I wonder if the dealer would consider replacing it under warranty just in case I decide I want to use it again.

Seems like you have pre-2004 X5. You have to press and hold the little button and push it out. Good luck.

Mine is a 2002 and no button pushing necessary. Just slide ALL of the 'rollers' into the 'block' area and lift up.

the shade on my '01 was a BITCH to get in and out and it was always jamming so I toook it out. The shade on my '04 is a much better design and takes 10 seconds to take in/out so i leave it in.
