Are these cargo covers the same thing?

Any experience with these?

No experience with those particular brands/models.

I bought the "Veenjoy" version off Amazon. Have had it and been using it for about 8 months now, and I'm pretty happy with it.

My only complaint is if you want to fold the seats, you have to remove the cover because the front end attaches to the headrests. Fortunately, I don't do that very often.

Otherwise, it seems to work well and the self-adhesive pieces that attach to the interior trim panels look like they came from the factory. I was pleasantly surprised.

Mine is the “Vesul” brand. Pretty sure they’re all absolutely identical, coming from the same manufacturer in China.

It does the advertised job well enough. My only complaint is the mounting method using hooks on the rear seat headrests. I prefer to remove those on my cars as I never have rear seat passengers, and I like the extra visibility.

I did a basic print of a post that the hooks could mount to. Worked kind of OK, but I need to model the OEM posts better before I’d call it good. One more thing I need a 3D scanner for.

I ordered the cheaper one; we'll see how it does.

I could probably make you a 3d model of the posts if you give me an idea of what you are thinking.

Just replicating the headrest posts.

My proof of concept simply matched the post diameter with no consideration for the beveled scallops that provide the height “steps”, with just a basic cap that didn’t match the contour of the plastic insert the posts go into. Just a smooth plug, really.

They worked, but didn’t have any retention capability. Like I said, they were just proof of concept.

Ok, I’ll whip you up a 3D model. Ok

I wish someone could figure out a design that doesn’t require attachment to the headrests.

Ford did. The OEM Cargo Management System installed side rails on which the shelf rests, with lock-in-place connectors for the shelf.

Would it be possible to contrive a connection to the anchors in the back of the seats?

Also, someone posted a custom-made box structure made of carpeted plywood to effect their own cargo cover somewhere around these parts.

The problem with the CMS is that it doesn’t mount at the same height as the aftermarket solutions at the top of the seatback.

I haven’t had mine installed for months because of that.

If you look in the video at the first link I posted, the sides do look like they come very close to the interior walls, maybe a couple of 3D brackets could be printed that mount to the walls and hold it instead of the seat mounts?

True. Several trips to Sam’s Club have shown that the CMS shelf is a bit too low.

Was this what you were thinking?

That appears to be a match.

I moan about those headrests every time I have to move the front seats forward to lay the back seats down...

And just now realized that I can remove those damned things. I will never have any rear seat passengers.

Lol, thank you for this.
