Tailgate covers
I've got a cheap rubber tail gate cover off ebay that I was going to velcro to the tailgate, but when I held it in position and opened / closed the tailgate it bunches up, as the tailgate is shorter when closed than open (sounds bizarre - but true).
I've looked at hatchbag and their cover is an all in one design, so surely that would have the same problem. Titancovers and disco dunc appear to overcome this by covering the flap and tailgate upper separately.
My dog cage is almost full length of the boot, so I've no space for a bunched up tailgate cover.
Anyone got pictures of the tailgate closed with hatchbag?
I cannot get a titan covers one as you cannot fit the dog guard..Sill protection - LED internal lights - LED reverse lights - boot liner - Dog Guard - Rock sliders

I have a hatchbag with a dog cage too, no problems, fits really well. The main hatchbag covers the boot and the tail gate cover is separate so slides and doesn't bunch up as such

How / where does it slide? My dog cage comes to the edge of the boot. So there's not any space for sliding?!Sill protection - LED internal lights - LED reverse lights - boot liner - Dog Guard - Rock sliders

I'll try and get a couple of pics in a bit, but the large 'whole boot' section has a small 'flap' which goes over the car 'lip', the bit that covers the join/gap. The tailgate cover part, velcros to the lower tailgate separately so when you lower/lift the tailgate it 'slides' beneath the 'fixed' part - if that makes sense? '

Thanks for that - as it fits with the dog guard and covers the tailgate properly, you've convinced me to get one!

Customs covers also do a boot liner cover that fits over the "lip" on the hinge cover. Pics posted on thread
