Boot blind mod that's made a nice difference

Since getting my supra, I've been disappointed with how the boot blind fits, with regards to the gap that's left between the back edge of it, and the rear seats.

 

I thought it looked a bit noddy, being able to see the edge of my sub through it, and it didn't look like it fitted properly.

I thought about redesigning the clip location, to move it closer to the seat, but noticed there was two panel screws, in the right sort of place. So I popped the screw covers off, and removed the screws themselves

Chopped the rubber caps off the ends of the blind bar, and sanded the white nylon ends down to about 1mm

Then with a slight twist, popped the bar ends into the two holes left where the screws were, and closed the boot.

 

Result, no more gap, and it still works perfectly raising and lowering the tailgate :thumbs:

Might not matter to most people, but I'm dead pleased with the neater look :)
