    It's been bugging me for a while now but I think it's time to do something about it. The OEM cargo cover sucks. There are gaps in the front and rear that allow you to see your stuff. Does anyone have suggestions on a different cover or have mods they have done to the OEM cover? I have looked at Raingler but I can't use the rear hooks because of my OEM Audio subs which are pretty much in the way of anything that uses those rear hooks. I have been thinking about ditching them but the JB sub box is pricey at the moment.

    Does anyone have experience with something like this option? Also saw this option.

    looks like you are not alone in the coverage are lacking observation:

    seems the reclining seats are the reason for the gap in the front .

    a solution like this would help with the front gap (similar to OP first link):

    and it seems the aftermarket is solving the problem with a flap to the seats and a larger flap to the rear hatch:

    another interesting possible solution was this (yeah those rear hooks might be a challenge for OP):
    https://www.amazon.com/Trunk-Security-Toyota-4Runner-2003-2024/dp/B0CKPVYQYD/

    and of course depending on what you are storing.. perhaps the drawer solution is the right path?

    It's the lower rear hooks that are blocked. At some point I'd like a drawer system but Goose Gear seems to be the only one that doesn't use turnbuckles to tie the front (from the rear) section down using those tie down points.
