Default Trunk security?

Does it concern you when there is no trunk cover? meaning anything you put inside the trunk can be seen throught the rear window?

how you do deal with it?

I brought two cargo nets (1 vertical, 1 normal) thinking that they might be able to obscure visibility into the trunk, but they don't work very well in that respect.

I don't like tinting and that why I didn't go for it. Still looking for a good solution

Things that I don't want ppl to see, I keep them in the Glove box (unless you're talking about Golf clubs). All I have in the trunk is just the California duster.

well depends on where you put your stuff. if you tuck it all the way towards the back you can see it from the hatch window. then again, you can see the whole trunk just by looking in at the side windows or front windshield.

I don't know if it's physically possible, but someone should design a trunk cover. (most hatchbacks have that 'pullover type')

Pretty hard cause the strut gets in the way. simplest solution is to get a big black blanket and put it in the trunk. That should cover anything you got in the trunk.

I concur. But would it be possible to put it over the strut? (kinda like a tent, made out of soft fabric so it won't scratch it)

or on front and back. Like window shades attached to the sides of the strut bar. pull one forward to cover the front and one back for the rear. That way you can still see the Z in the hatch.

Still say a black blanket is the easiest method

Just put a box with a lid on it marked "Bibles" in the hatch area. Put your stuff in there...........people interested in Bibles won't steal, and theives won't find much value in stealing Bibles.

just kidding.......

I have tint on my hatch window which makes it very difficult to see what is in there.........
