2018 Q7 S-Line UK spec

I've recently purchased a 4M Q7 and notice the cargo cover has a big gap between the rear seats and the cargo cover itself, leaving the content underneath visible. I'm a videographer and would like to keep all my equipment out of sight.

Has anyone found a solution to this gap? I need the extra boot space so reclining the seats is not an option. Thanks

Toss a blanket over it.

I was surprised to find that the cover for my 2017 wasn't like the one in my 2013 that had two "shades" that pulled out from the cover housing & attached to the second row seat backs - thus covering any exposed area in the trunk.

Yeah thats a much better design. do you know if that would fit the current shape?

Its because your rear seats recline .they are not in the furthest reclined position while using the cargo cover. Adjust your rear seat backs and you will be happy to see no gap .

^^ This is what I do, if need be I simply recline the second row seats and it fills in the gap..

Since the 4M Q7 is an entirely new vehicle - different from the first generation - I would doubt it.
Probably the only way to find out would somehow obtain a first generation one & try it out. One obvious problem would be that there are no anchor points on the backs of the seats in the new version.

Thanks all, looks like I'll go with the full recline option

Yeah that don't work well for us with car seats. Audi Should a have a better design

I admit I never even considered cars seats when reading this thread since my "boys" at 24, 20 & 17 are well past the car seat stage.. LOL.. But yeah I can see how the recline option wouldn't work well for those of you with car seats...
