I have read in several posts that you have to take out the rear cargo cover and store it in your garage when the third row seats are put up, or store it between the seats where someone can step on it and ruin it. The cover is too wide to fit on the floor behind the third row, so it seems that you cannot store it back there.
Well, I found a way to store the cargo cover behind the third row of seats and still have (a little) space back there for grocery bags, etc.
I remove one of the rear side storage compartment covers and stick one end of the metal "pole" in the cubby and the other end diagonally above the rear of the opposite armrest. Position the "tongue" portion of the cover so that it lays flush against the back of the seats, pointing up.
The best way to do this is to remove the cubby hole panel, insert one end of the pole into the cubby hole, compress the whole pole and insert the other end above the back of the opposite armrest. This spring action will keep everything snug and prevent the cover from moving around. This will become easy to do after a few tries. Do the opposite to remove.
This is the best way I found to quickly store that cargo cover when you need to put up the third row when more passengers join you on the go!
