| 463 Cargo cover or alternatives
I have been looking for a cargo area cover for a trip we're planning and the OEM ones are pretty expensive. I was wondering if there were any other alternatives or how other folk have improvised when they've been on trips. |

Sounds good but that could easily take the shape of what you had in there, defeating security. Something stiffer will be better. |

Consider roller drawers. I have them in mine with a carpet over the top. |

Frontrunner, Outback Products and Big Country in South Africa make them. Just Google them. i cant post pictures here.
Also check out the SA G website MB4x4.co.za. There is a guy currently selling a used set for dirt cheap - about 300 USD. |

i have been wondering if I could use another car that would fit the G? The issue is how to match the measurements. Any ideas? I think the MB and the other alternatives are far too expensive. |
