Traveller rear load space cover

Post by **Vernon** » Mon Jun 20, 2005 9:56 am

Does anyone know where I can get a roller-blind type of cover for the rear load space of my Traveller. Would a cover from a modern small estate car be suitable? If so, can anyone recommend a make of car that would be a good fit?

You could measure it and try to find a (house) window blind that'd fit -it's bound to be cheaper than a car accessory. Either way you'll need to fit some sort of hooks to the back end of the wooden rails (if that's what they're called) to secure it. Best to make it removable too in case it gets damaged when you carry something big & heavy with the seat folded down...

I've heard of people using ones from estate cars - unfortunately I can' remember which one it was, or how much it had to be modified.
However just wanted to say - yes it can be done and also it is a sensible idea (I've wondered about it too) especially when some insurance polices only cover possesions stolen out of the car if they were out of sight.

Just thought I'd let you know that I've fitted a roller blind from a local curtain & blinds shop (Paul Simon) which cost £25.99. I was able to get a good colour match for my Trafalgar Blue Traveller and fitted it to the back of the rear seat. I used 2 pairs of hooks & eyes to hold it in place at the back of the load space. I am taking the Traveller to the Bandon Experience in Ireland in 10 days time so now all my worldly goods will be out of sight.

Thats a good bit of lateral thinking!
