My trunk cover gets sometimes lose, when I load a little bit too much cargo, or if I have the window open while driving. I found an easy fix and want to share this with you:

nice video! I'm glad to see someone else noticed the problem, and came up with the same easy fix.
;)
I've been posting stuff like this in the DIY category since it is a Owner fix rather than Ford/Dealership warranty thing....

Great simple idea, thanks. "When" I eventually get mine.... Pre-ordered Dec19 delayed, delayed then as it's UK, delayed again for 'Safety issue'. I hope Ford are going to give some decent compensation to their UK buyers!!!

I posted it original in videos. Somebody else moved it. Thanks for sharing yours!
I gotta learn how to do videos.... seems to be the way thing go now. I don't have a youtube account, but I'm thinking about getting a GoPro and learning. Do you have any tips on setting up a Youtube account, software to use for editing raw footage, and how to set up a 'beginners channel' ?

I've done whole websites on how to convert cars (like envirokarma.org), but they are all still images, no videos....

Setting up a youtube account is pretty straight forward. I am maybe the wrong guy to ask as there is much higher qualified people out there with editing videos.
I use filmoraX
Plenty of tutorials on YouTube how to use it.

Most people use Adobe

My concern here would be that if something tall was put in the hatch and closed with the screen in place, the screen would not be able to release as it does now perhaps causing damage to pins or fabric.

Good point, the o-rings stretch a bit. That should hopefully work. You can buy the thinner version I was referring to. They stretch more.

Noice!

I have a problem when the rear windows are down that the cover is flying up and down.
I open most the passenger window and the diagonal rear window and the cover is flying...

The thread attachment of this cover is pretty chintzy. Ford should have attached a cable, not a thread. Demo car at our dealership was torn free.
