Cargo Cover Falling Apart
#16
This is what I mean and what happens when your passengers mess with the cover. Can't blame them because it really should've been designed to do this anyway.
Pretend it is attached and someone flips it like this
Then you get a damaged cargo cover and damaged trim. You can't tell since it's dark but it's not pretty.

Yes, I’m hating on Lexus because this is a completely stupid & flimsy design. I expected more from Lexus.

Thanks for the pics - now I completely understand what you are talking about being “flipped”. I know what’s happened. I often carry one or two 5 gallon water jugs back there & they push the cover up a little. That still doesn’t excuse them from the cheap@ss frame with junk screws holding the guides on. That should be heavier metal & the guides should be riveted on.

Get your cheap frame warrantied. The more people who warranty it the more quickly they will realize how poor their design is.

I've found the 2018 RX is a better fit than the 2016, easier to engage in the slot the first time. The 2016 appeared too short (in width) and difficult to get the cover in the slots. I agree that earlier models had a better solution to engage the cover for the rear compartment

My cargo cover is falling apart! I have attached pics. Has anyone had this happen & how was it resolved?
The cover catches (when extended) are getting chewed up with normal use. Also, there are two felt covered guides that are screwed onto the cover frame. My screws have fallen out & gotten lost, so I’m down to 2 out of 4 screws. This appears to be junk. Why not rivet these guides?

BTW, our RX only has 3609 miles on it and the screws could be loosen by hand.
