Uhh...don't hold your breath. There aren't enough customers to justify the R&D that this would require. VW had a retractable shade on their 2009>>> Jetta Sportwagen. I loved it, until it broke at a young age. Not an easy engineering feat at all.
I have not noticed any difference in the audio system's performance since installing the cargo cover. There might be a resonant frequency with the cover extended but I have not noticed any difference in the sound. The cover is not air tight, there are gaps on the sides and at the rear. The cover is not advertised as being acoustically transparent but for bass frequencies, i.e. below several hundred Hz this should not matter as the wavelength is more than twice as long as the dimensions of the cover.
I purchased the BASENOR cargo cover for my Model Y. I have not had any issue reclining the 2nd row seats with the cargo cover roller shade in place. Knowing that some Model Y owners had experienced an issue with the rear mounting brackets not staying stuck I researched this issue. I found that there is a product from 3M that is sold as an adhesive promotor. This is a pre-treatment for the area where the foam tape will be applied. You can find this product on Amazon. It comes in small foil packets that you tear open and quickly apply using the included foam applicator pad. The mounting surface needs to be clean of any oils or contaminants. The adhesion promotor should only be applied when the temperature is between 60F and 80F. The chemicals in the adhesion promotor dry very fast, you should install the mounting brackets as soon as the surface is dry but not more than 1 hour. I tested the fit of the cargo cover but waited 8 hours for the adhesive to set before using the cargo cover. Partly due to the summer temperatures inside my garage being 100F I have not left the cargo cover extended. When I use the cargo cover it has only been for short periods. I am confident that when I need to deploy the cargo cover the brackets are not going to pull off.
Yes, I agree on the surface prep - always the most important step. I still have most of a small bottle of adhesion promotor received with the door seal kit I got last year and intend to use it regardless of which cover I choose.
I suggest taking the time to test the fit of each bracket before peeling the backing from the double side tape. I outlined the final placement of each bracket using painter's masking tape. Once you peel the backing from the double sided tape and the tape contacts the panel it will not be easy to remove the panel to adjust the fit. Once the panel has been placed I suggest using a small round handled tool such as a putty knife wrapped in a clean rag. Press the round end of the tool firmly against the parts of the bracket where the double sided tape is located on the back side of the bracket. If you hear a clicking or popping noise that means that the adhesive tape is not firmly attached to the panel and to press harder until the sound is gone.
Two small/medium clips, i.e. paper binder clips helped to hold the seat belts out of the way when installing the front brackets for the cargo cover.
