Rear Load Cover - How to tell the difference ?

My car is a 2012 and came with a rear load cover.

Problem being is it seems a bit short ! it barely holds on one side , i am either thinking i have an earlier version or maybe missing some sort of insert for the end pieces ?

Any one able to help me out please ?

Easiest way to tell difference, first picture split tailgate, second picure one piece tailgate.

Im pretty sure mine is the 2nd one . Are there any inserts that are meant to be on the car trim pieces to make it fit snug ?

Any one got a pic of theres in place !

Thanks for the info btw

As you can see one side of mine doesnt reach the end so it drops down

The length of my cover is 1350mm then the locking lugs stick out about another 10mm each end of cover.

Thank you both for the pics , on the underside of mine (Right) there is a little black tab . Is that meant to sit on/within the cars trim panel or on the outside ?

The black tab is spring loaded and I think somehow lock the cover in place, it does actualy sit in the trim panel so the weight of the cover pushes down on it.

Yes it does, have you measured the length of the cover? perhaps the issue is with the trim panel somehow.

It does only just locates in the panel but it has never fell out yet. Laughing Which end are you locating first?

Ok had a play , size was the same as stated by you. Managed to shift it a bit to the right and it does seem to fit better now . Its not 100% snug , but judging by your pics looks like it now fits the same as yours Laughing
