Gap between rear seats

Hi all,

Does anyone know if Volvo (or anyone else for that matter...) ever made a cover for the gap between the rear seats? My '95 Celeb has the roller blind cover which hides stuff quite nicely from above, but anyone can see through the seat gap, and stuff could also fly through the gap if I had to brake sharply...

I suppose I could knock something up out of a bit of plywood and some leathercloth, but I'd prefer something a bit more purpose-made.

Cheers,

Jethro

Well the standard fabric cover clips on the hooks, and has a bit which simply hangs down to cover this gap..

Yeah, there's one of them for sale on eBay at the moment & I saw it has a flap for that. I was wondering if there was anything available for cars with the roller blind instead...

I know it's not really how it should be but I always use my foldable cardboard sunblind / plastic snowcover to 'fill ' that gap

I used my sub to close the gap.

clear up the boot. A real 480 es has to be driven like a P1800 ES: flipped over rear seats, and absolutely nothing in the back.... Accept maybe "schneewittchen" (dead or allive):lol:

in case of need i use the original loose cover ... with flap.

I cut my standard cover when i put the roller, it's not very practical when you put the seats down but

!?!?

I also made myself a nice cover from wood and put some
nice speakers in the cover,
So no one can see my SUB ore AMP

There`s only one problem, no space left for luggage.

Why am I getting a visual of mr Bean sitting on a 480 in a comfortable chair with a rack to push the accelerator and a long rope attached to the steering wheel and a car loaded with bargains?
