I've owned a lot of cars and bought a lot of neat bits to attach to them, but I've NEVER come across the cranky bits I've found with this Crosstour.
Cargo net requires dis-assembly of rear hatch panels and a rivet gizmo plus drilling of panels BEFORE you can screw in the simple hook that allows you to use the net upright.
Nose mask requires insertion of screw thingie into inner front fender edge - pretty normal - but the mask itself puts so much pressure on the snap attachment that it pulls out of the hole AND deforms the fender under the headlight at the same time. Very poor mask design.
Door edge protective film requires separate purchase of magical 3M Clear Film Installation Spray that is not included with the kit.
EVERYTHING seems to drive me back to the jack wagons at the dealership - either to buy stupid parts because I want to install it today, or because I don't have the specialized tools required to hook up a SIMPLE CARGO NET!!
Cripes. I'm done. I'm limited to caps and keyrings.
Search online for installation instructions before buying anything. You'll save time and money.
