I did the same. The Diesel Gate buyback was too much to refuse. I also still have the mat & blocks. I had a 2011 TDI hatchback & I never thought to see if it was useable in the CX-5 with some tweaks.Before I sold the Jetta back to VW I removed the mat and the blocks. The mat fit almost perfectly in the back of the CX-5, with a small adjustment. The blocks stick to the mat with Velcro and work great!

@hal2 - is that a clear cargo cover in the first pic? Where did you get that?Lots of threads - "hey, look at my cool storage idea" Let's not over think it. Pick your container, pick you bungee and Bammo find what's right for you.

Unlikely, just the standard OEM retractable cargo cover which has a screen or netlike feature that extends out when trunk is opened. Saves weight space and does not create a solid barrier between the passenger compartment and trunk.@hal2 - is that a clear cargo cover in the first pic? Where did you get that?
I'm going to politely disagree. It's a great set up for carrying you gear, until you need to uh, actually load stuff in your trunk, then you have to move everything somewhere else especially on the back of the back seat. But that's what's great about SUV, options for everyone.Best setup I've ever seen right there.
Yup It’s all about one’s own lifestyle. This was the best solution I could come up with for keeping all my gear while still allowing access to the cargo space. The only time I really need to put that my rear seats is for my surfboard, and because those hanging bags are Velcro I don’t need to keep removing/installing them.I'm going to politely disagree.

Got it, and hopefully my comment didn't come across as disrespectful. I know that sometimes it's about utility, and none of us bought the CX-5 for its "Best In Class" cargo rating , so kudos for making the most of yours.Yup It’s all about one’s own lifestyle.

Great idea! Now you have my right hemisphere working overtime!My 2012 VW Jetta Sportwagon (which was involved in the Diesel Gate scandal and was purchased back from me by VW. I used that cash to buy our CX-5) came with a cargo management system called Cargo Blocks and Monster Mat.
Here are the blocks at Amazon.
