Default What are the little ***** on the bulkhead in the trunk?

They are sort of on the underside of the bulkhead in the trunk of the coupe. What are these used for?

I believe they are for holding items, like a mesh organizer. Woody

Isn't the place behind the seats specifically for umbrellas?

He said in the trunk.
Someone said they are to attach the touring luggage handles or straps to, I'm not sure as I have never tried.
Woodys idea sound about right, but we never got the nets so I guess not.

Cheap Cargo Cover ...




OK ... It is virtually impossible to find a Chrysler Crossfire cargo cover, and even if it can be found, the cost would be mucho $$$. I found this "sun shade" on ebay for about $12.00 shipped from China. It is retractable, and altho it doesn't retract caompletely, it'll do. It is made of plastic sheeting and covers enuff of the stuff in the hatch area to prevent seeing whats in there when the hatch is closed. Granted, it is not as durable as and OEM unit, but it works. It attaches with wire ties to the 2 buttons on the back wall and hooks in front.

They are for the retractable cargo cover accessory that neither Chrysler or Mercedes carries anymore. However you can check the link below for a hand made one.

Wrong, the cargo cover attaches at the top of the bulkhead.
I know as I have one and installed it.

The OEM part was about $260 and has been near impossible to find since 2007. If found they go for more than the original price now.

Do you have the OEM part number available for the cover?

Being a new member myself, I did not know Dan was a former banned member of the group. I had searched for a cover since I purchased my Crossfire a year ago. And just as youve mentioned before it is nearly impossible to find. I was on the verge of doing a "Macgyver" and creating one myself - just as Dan had done. I will be at the Dreamcruise in Detroit this August. I would love to see the cover you installed. It may give me some ideas to create a custom one for myself!

How's this?
I think that if you can get a Dodge Magnum cargo cover it could be modified to suit a Crossfire. I was looking into it and gave up when I got the OEM one. The Magnum one was $85 and the Crossfire one was $260.

StephenJXN .... You have to know Dave (Onehundred 80) ..... he's old and "crotchety", like me, and his humor is pretty "acidic", but sometimes literally cracks me up. I know he meant nothing personal towards you, and if you go back to many of his posts, you'll see that, that's just the way he is. Dave is one of the most contributing members on the forum, and his experience is welcome, even tho he's a Canuck. j/k Just sayin .....

No harm intended, but what's wrong is wrong. Helping someone with the wrong answer helps nobody.
How can I add the correct answer without saying your one is wrong?
