Cargo-cover noise...

TYP,

I know exactly what you are talking about. It's a high pitched squeaking noise.
At first I thought it was the seats, the belts, even the roof mounted coat hook and seat belt.
Eventually, I discovered that it was the cargo cover.
When it is closest to the rear opening and it isn't tightly hooked into the column it squeeks like mad.
It it isn't hooked, you need to shove it all the way into the cylinder or it will squeek (but this defeats the purpose of the cover).
Recently, I've been hauling lots of stuff so I moved it forward but kept it in the cylinder with no squeeks.

Maybe there is a way to make the tension tighter (I'm assuming this will stop the squeeks).

If someone finds a permanent solution, please post.
I've gotten around the problem by not using it.
Most times I don't have anything in the back and when I do, I'm at work and the window tint makes it hard to see in.

I probably won't want to park at the mall with a Hassy in the back uncovered though.

Now, this just plain sucks!

First MDX does not come with the ^%*@ thing standard. No no, It's a luxury accessory. You have to buy it separately.
Wake up Acura, It's luxury cars that you make for god's sake. Just put the darned thing in as a standard item. Those who don't want it can always take it off and keep it in the garage.

Second, people fork over the big unjustified bucks for these accessories only to have them "squeak" on them. So what do they do? They just stop using them. Can you blame them?

I wish Acura would just grow up already. And what's with no roof rack on the premium? Geez!

Don't get me wrong folks. I have my X booked on a non-refundable deposit. No, I still want it but I guess the last 10 days of wait are the most frustrating. I never did get this accessory based extortion busineess at all. All said and done, I will still get my roof rack from Tim because it just plain looks "nude" without it.

There, I feel much better now. Or do I?
