DEN Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Hello guys! Have got the MKX 2011 in Russia. Have a question. My MKX have different cargo security shade, not like on site pics. My shade is soft, but on site pice it look like hard. Is it original? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatee Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I hate to tell you this but that is indeed the factory cargo cover. The design has been the same, I had this as a factory accessory on my 2008 Edge. I was expecting a soft retractable type of cargo cover like those used on so many other vehicles. I understand your disappointment and dismay as do so many other MKX and Edge owners. The 3 large rubber bands that attach to he rear headrests and then the little clear plastic retainers near the tailgate to keep the whole thing aloft. I thought it was a joke. They say that the reason that a retractable or any other better type of cargo cover cannot be made is because the rear seats have a reclining feature that prevents this. I have never seen an after market version either. In the end, I just folded mine up and put in a closet. Needless to say I did not order it on my 2011 Edge. Though this looks somewhat good in the limited view picture proveded, in reality it is a huge disappointment. Good luck with your new Lincoln.

Strange, but there is another shade model on Lincoln site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilsons66604 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 This reminds me. I removed my rear headrests so I could see out back. Where do I hook my shade if I decide to use it? ( the shade straps onto the headrests ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
