Cargo Privacy Cover

pmct12 · 10-26-2011, 09:14 PM

So, as of two days ago, I'm a so-far happy lessee of a polished metal metallic 2012 EXL with nav crosstour. I like it a lot, I must say. I noticed, however, that I don't have a cargo privacy cover, and I thought I'd read that they came standard. My apologies if this has already been discussed elsewhere, but I couldn't find it at all. Anyway, if it's no longer offered, then I'm a bit disappointed, but it seems to have its pros and cons (e.g., where do you store it when you're not using it?) If it's no longer offered, then it was a minor change that honda snuck by from 2011 to 2012. Thanks in advance for any help.

I thought it was Standard, Check with your dealer. I did check Honda CT website and in all the pictures they never once showed the cover. plus they never listed the cover as part of the car......Wierd

i think sould be standard came with EXL-NAVI. why not check another EXL-NAVI yourself to see if it included in the package talk to sale's person sometime they don't know.

I checked it the dealer. Turns out Honda (very quietly) actually turned what was standard in the EXL 2011--the privacy cover--into an option for 2012. Weird, and somewhat disappointing. My sales guy (a family friend) is waiting to hear back from the general manager tomorrow about possibly getting me one anyway. My question, before he bothers any further, is it more trouble than it's worth, or are you guys happy to have it?

It is a must have in my book. It works quite well.

Yes, I like it but one reason Honda might have gotten rid of it was a lot of articles were written how much of a Pain in the A$$ it was if you had to remove it. Plus if you have to clean that little window you got to remove the1/2 the cover. The hard half too then again there the money thing

I finally got the part list for the cargo screen, it's actually two different parts which is pretty difficult to find in the Honda parts catalog - they're not even in the same category. If this has been posted already, sorry. Prices are from online dealership parts website. Totals around $220.

(1) - 84410-TP6-A02ZA - $121.16
(1) - 84400-TP6-A02ZA - $88.70
(2) - 84402-TP6-A01ZA - $9.26

If anyone has bought these for their 2012, let me know - I'm about to buy and find out if it works.

Thanks

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's only the front half, the other half is under 'Tailgate Lining', Illust. #2 (RR Shelf) as well as (2) Illust. #3 (Hooks). Can someone post an image of the screen with the hatch open from the rear?
Thanks

The two piece cover "system" came with my 2011. It was such a PITA that I removed it after three days and have stored it on a very high shelf where it will await the next owner.

i bought my crosstour one week ago and it does'nt have one either..so maybe its not included anymore.

pmct12 · 10-31-2011, 09:29 AM

I'm not stressing too much about it, really. I just find it a bit annoying that
a) one of the few changes between 2011 and 2012 was to take away something that came standard, and
b) how it looks as though they tried to hide this fact, causing me to feel a bit cheated.

just a little uncool, is all.

We would not have purchased our Crosstour without the screen. We had many other options for 4-wheel drive, but only one with a screened cargo area. Honda is killing the "golden goose" by leaving the screen off! If Honda starts selling vehicles made in Mexico in the U.S. then they have lost us as a future buyer regardless of the screen being included. Again, too many good vehicles being made in the U.S.!

Kyras · 10-31-2011, 11:34 PM

I took out both the privacy screen and what ever else was back there, wrapped them up in plastic and have them stored in my garage. I use my Crosstour to haul my bicycle or ElliptiGO and they just got in the way.
