That sounds interesting. I too keep the partition up all the time. Having an effective trunk light would be nice.

Installed a couple bolt LEDs in the trunk liner and wired into the existing trunk light wiring harness. Plenty of light now with the divider in place.

First picture is the stock lighting with the divider in place. Second picture is the lighting I have now. Third picture is one of the bolt LEDs (one on each side of the trunk).

That looks really nice, but I'm reluctant to touch any wiring until the warranty is up.

I can certainly understand that concern. But this is such a minor modification it was difficult for even me to screw it up!

I'm planning to build a different trunk divider in order to also use the part of the trunk below the top down.

I don't have any picture yet because I'm still waiting the parts.

My idea is to use a cargo net and hook it horizontally just below the 8" of height, 36 x 22.
In this way I can store items below it without the fear the turbulence will lift them up while the top down is operating (it's crazy paranoid but there is the risk, better safe than sorry)
Then another cargo net that hooks on the two existing top locks used by the divider but instead of going all the way down the bottom of the trunk, it stops at the same height of the previous net.
They can be seamed together using a small stick.
Using the OEM locks from the divider, the sensor will still work but I will have more room to work with.

The issue of using the net is that if you load heavy stuff and they move on hard brakes or accelerations, the net may not be strong enough to contain the items out of the operating area but it depends on these 'sticks' I mentioned as reinforcement.

I can replace the net with two thin boards but for storing it when you need the whole trunk, it could be annoying.

when the parts will come I will let you know more.

I have simply unbuttoned the bottom of the divider and let the top two stay connected. That allows me to store my spare tire in the trunk with no problems.

I think it would be ideal if the divider was permanently connected on top and simply rolled up to be out of the way.

You can lower the top with the spare in the trunk?

Yep. No problem.

I bought the modern spare with it's case, etc. There is an inch or two between the lowered top and the spare. The only issue is that you can't clip the bottom of the trunk divider.

I will try to take some pictures tomorrow to show how much space. I tried before but it was too dark, the pictures weren't good enough.

I just completed the idea I mentioned above

I made a brand new divider, with clips, magnet sensor, where I can use the space below the folded top and no modification in the car required.
I really wanted to make it 100% reversible. just in case

the whole DIY guide is here:

and here are few pictures of the final result:

Looks great! and a very good idea thank you for sharing.

Only works if dealer lets you keep old part, which I doubt.

Hi All,

I have a much simpler and more elegant solution to divider delete - small neodymium magnet for 30 cents or so and double sided tape.
Have a look - attached photo.
No need to cut the divider like d00mz did or upgrade it like The Alien did (this is the safest option I have to agree, however his contraption is fixed and limits you from using the trunk space with top up - myself I look to get as much storing space as I can due to small trunk size).

Of course you need to be careful not to get the top down when storing items above those 8 inches in the back of the trunk - not to damage the top or items in the trunk!

If you plan to follow my approach be aware that magnet's polarization does matter - if taped on the wrong side it won't work (believe me I have tested it ).

BR,
Jarek

Well if anyone doesn’t want there divider I’ll gladly take it. Mine broke so wouldn’t mind a replacement

I posted a thread on this a while ago too. Also used a neodymium magnet but mounted it on a piece of plastic with a floor mat clip and wrapped in carpet tape. Easier to take on and off than sticking the magnet alone and looks slightly nicer
