The rear luggage cover does not stay up and numerous times it has slipped and hit me or one of my family on the head. This weekend, it slipped again and caused a cut on my head. I asked the dealer about a fix for this and he stated none noted and they have had similar complaints but no TSB or recalls issued. This luggage compartment cover is dangerous and needs to be re-designed.
