| Yes, load covers were supplied and might be available from a breakers. If you don't have the side rails you might need these too. |

As already said, Ebay and breakers and they have gone for around £50. The rails are pretty easy to fit, just need to cut out some of the existing plastic trim

My pleasure. After I posted the pic I realised that it also shows what look like split vertical blinds too. I've never actually seen one like this. 
But I'm sure you get the idea. |

I feel very embarrased that I didn't spot that detail in that case!  I will have to be more observant in future. 
Looking at the pic again, I would expect the blinds to be nearest the seats and the load cover to be to the rear. It looks as if someone has put the load cover in the wrong way, but it can't be because the split in the blinds matches the split in the seat. Explanation requested please Vijay! |

| hazarding a guess , the split bit hanging down attaches to the back of the rear seats and the rolled up part pulls back and attaches to the ends of the rails ??? |

I know that Vijay has just confirmed this as correct, but given that the rear seats fold flat why would you want a 'blind' attached to them?? (I'm probably being thick. If so, please excuse me) |

| they clip on/off the rear seats, so you could still have the blind in place regardless of the seat positions |

| But the split cover must be like a tent when the seats are folded flat! Anyway I look forward to a full demo next time we meet up. |

| No, you just unclip them when you fold the seats down |
