Help a newbie out, please!?

I have recently purchased a 2003 Protege5 and I must say I love it. I am running into one problem though and I hope that someone on here will be able to stear me in the right direction.

The car did not come with the cargo cover(the panel that attaches to the lift gate) and I am not sure if this is even the correct term for the part. I have been unable to find one anywhere. Does anyone know where I can get one?

You can also try calling your local wreckers. You might luck into one if you are willing to call a few.

wait...you WANT one? ;)

Mine came without it. It's just 1 less thing to move when I'm hauling big stuff in the back

EDIT: 1 post, REAL newbie! Welcome! (thumb)

trust me you want one, it comes in handy when you get pulled over with a hatch full of empty CPT. bottles.

Thanks for the advice everyone.

Importcrazy - that sounds like a story worth hearing!
