I agree that we shouldn’t have to find a solution, but Ihave a germ of an idea.
The missus drives a Nissan Note, which has moveable rear seats.
If you want the legroom, the whole lot slides backwards by about six inches.The way Nissan overcome the gap between the parcel shelf and the seat is byhaving a piece of material that is permanently attached to the parcel shelf,and attaches with Velcro the rear of the seat upright, you can just catch sightof these three Velcro pieces in the last second or two of the video.
So how about some black leatherette, from the underside of the boot cover,going to the rear of the seat upright, this on mine is already carpeted andready to accept the hook part of the Velcro. This could be either the width tothe seat back when reclined or upright.
Tacky or tasteful, I’ll have a go and post some pictures.
