Yes, absolutely. It would likely need to be dismounted when installing the car seat, but that is now a no-hassle, 10 second thing.Would this cover work with a front-facing car seat, which often requires: (1) removal of the headrest, and (2) access to the tether anchors on the back of the rear seats?

HTH!

Thank you for the response! Will definitely have to consider this when we get our Y (we have the RWD on order, so it may be a few more months).
Well I like it, my kids like it, my wife hates it. It actually made her nauseous yesterday when my kids convinced me to do a hard launch. I'll be keeping it for sure. Just no launches with the wife in the car.segue
How do you like the boost? Is it worth my wife finding out?
Does it spin / squeal the tires or does an electric drive somehow prevent that. Seems like it would given all the torqueWell I like it, my kids like it, my wife hates it.

No, it doesn't launch at full power from zero, it comes in soft and then the torque hits about a second later (butt dyno). I tried turning it at full power and that'll squeal the tires and get the TC very angry (car cuts power).Does it spin / squeal the tires or does an electric drive somehow prevent that.

Guess I should stop hijacking the thread though
I'll "second" the thought of adding an adhered (or anchored) rear support for the parcel shelf. I think that would be the only way to get a clean "OEM" look. Since the shelf isn't intended to carry a load, only shield the cargo area, the rear support only has to contend with the physical weight of the shelf itself. That should/could make anchoring easier. I like the command strips idea as a "no mar" attachment, but honestly I'm not opposed to a screw in attachment either, so long as it's a clean implementation.
Interesting thought...what about rare earth magnets? You (we) could adhere a RE magnet to the back side of the trim. Then the rear supports could attach magnetically through the trim. This leaves no physical damage to the visible trim and you could then design an elegant looking shelf support. It would take a bit more time to install, but the result would be very clean.
I've had the chance to look at this more closely. Several issues come to the front pretty quickly. When the hatch is raised, the ModelYShelf will lift with it The legs would be in the down position and swing upward with it. Due to the geometry, they will end up pointing downward and backward, right at the person behind the car. These would be to the outsides but have serious potential to get in the way when you lean into the trunk to load or unload, be something you could bump into (Right about eye level...) or have to work around, or catch your grocery bags on. Yes, they would be foldable, but it would be a pretty big thing to have to fold them out of the way each time. I'm not against this option, and am still considering it, but like a lot of things, it is not as simple or as it sounds. In addition, it is likely to add about $40-50 to the cost. Some sort of leg or bracket on the trunk side would likely be less intrusive and less costly.What I was thinking of should not require any vehicle modification. Imagine a hinge on the bottom of your cover. One side is of course the cover. The other side of the hinge is this leg. The hinge just lets it flop down.
The attached (crude) image is kind of what I mean. You cover is blue. The floor of the MY is red. The right 'foot' is down. The left shows the foot moving from latched horizontal to vertical. A clip or latch or something under the cover would allow the user to optionally not have the leg flopping down.

Should have mentioned I use my own solution to hook up the cords to the hatch - I use carabiners to be able to quickly hook/unhook. Note that I am not sure if this (long-term) may cause paint damage, so use at your own risk.
@frankvb (or anyone else feel free to answer too!) now that it's been a couple of months, are you noticing any damage from using the carabiners? Also, do they make any additional noise when opening/closing the hatch, or when driving? I can't imagine how they wouldn't damage the paint or strut if they were snug enough not to rattle, and how they wouldn't rattle if they were loose enough not to damage the paint or strut. But I'm hoping to be wrong.
Also, has anyone done/seen a review video on these? I just re-checked YouTube and still see nothing.
