That's why so many have the tonneau removed from the car on day 1 and then its whereabouts forgotten about come sale time. I guess it also helps if the car in question has tinted rear windows to hide what might be otherwise visible in the boot. From new they also came with some trim clips to cover the slot in the car so if the owner decided not to keep the tonneau in the car you didn't see the holes in the trim.


I see you have the later model tonneau (with strap) so it might be they changed the car / tonneau to allow it to fit. If you do plan to use the 3rd row seats it would be worth checking if you can fit it behind the 3rd row seats in case you ever need the 3rd row at short notice when away from home, as otherwise the 2nd row has to sit with the tonneau cover across their laps (ask me how I know !)
The tonneau cover fits behind the 3rd row in all cars. I’ve done it and documented it.
