Rear cargo cover

I have a '90 GXL with a black interior and I've looked everywhere online and in salvage yards to find the rear cargo cover (the one that raises and lowers with the hatch via cables). Any ideas where to find one?

Ebay is the onl;y place that I've seen them for sale. It maybe the rarest part on our cars to find.

The cargo cover is for coupes also. The cover is a fiber glass like material that connects to your speaker towers. It is way cool when you see one because it is like you have a trunk for our cars. Look close to you hatch glass you should notice plastic circles on each side of your rear glass once opened where the cargo straps attach to. There was a picture of a cargo cover on the this site about a week ago.

Otherwise, you can get a generic one from places like www.jcwhitney.com .

I thought they were made from that pressboard stuff. Almost like thick cardboard, really crappy for long term durability, which is one reason they're rare today, they all disintegrated long ago. If you're willing to do some work you could make your own, but unless you want to modify your speaker covers you'll need the ones with the slots for the cover hinge.

You are right concerning what they are made of I just could not remember though. I've seen one made also but it did not look as good as the stock one.

Unhappy

Cool!....thanx everyone for your replies....My cover is black and it's mostly a cloth-covered piece of crap Masonite or whatever and it's all warped from getting wet. I had no idea that a used one would bring $100 on ebay....perhaps I should try to re-cover the one I have then. I followed the link to the pic, it looks exactly like mine. Thanks again.
