All,

I spent several weeks trying to locate a security cover for the trunk of my 2008 crossfire coupe here in the US. As you know, they are completely sold out. After making a number of phone calls to various dealers internationally, I managed to find a Chrysler Dealership in the U.K. that was willing to order the part for me directly from Mopar in Germany. Once i found a willing dealer, I ordered the part via fax and then handled the rest of transaction over e-mail. It was a rather simple - although a bit of a long process. The part arrived at the local dealership just outside of London fairly quickly. From there, I went online to UPS in the UK and scheduled a pick-up of the package. I had to fill out a few customs forms and it cost about $100.00 to ship - but if you are really dying to have a car cover - they are still out there. If you would like to order the part, let me know and I can e-mail the name of the contact person at the Chrysler Dealership (called S.G. Smith) in London. The part took about 11 days to ship as it got held up in customs (I should have done a better job of describing what it was) but it arrived in perfect condition. I had the local dealership in Oakland California install the cover,which took about two hours (and was a bit of tricky install). At the end of the day, I am quite happy with the cover!

 

Persistence pays off, huh? That's great. When you get it and install it, how about showing us some photos of it? Thanks.

Can you send me the info I need to order one. Thanks

 

Can you see alright about the security cover.....?

I was thinking about getting my windows tinted.... kinda for this same reason. The main thing holding me back is the limited visibilty. Because we're already somewhat limited in rear visibility with the spoiler up.

 

Security cover doesn't hinder rear vision in the least, whereas I think tint may especially at night.

 

I know its 2012 now, but maybe you still you know the dealer from Germany?

If he still got them i drive to germany this week xD

I had my windows tinted about 3 years ago and really like the results. Vision out the back window was always bad so I rely on good side mirrors. I also have a review view camera as part of my GPS/stereo set-up.

I bought a security cover last year with the Crossfire logo on it and love it too.

Be sure to check your state's rules about percentage tint allowed.

 

I just found Security Covers online!

I'll order one tomorrow for $305 including international shipping.

If people are intrested were to get them or want some pic's when it arrive's let me know.

It looks like the original cover, not the imitation one in v-shape.

Called chrysler Holland today and they were all out ofc.

Please post the link to where you have found them.

 

I like the idea of the security cover, but $300+ is a little steep for me, especially since I keep my XFs garaged. I went with tint for $130: 35% on the sides and 15% on the rear to cut down on SUV headlights. I can see well during the day but backing up at night is tricky, so I always park where I can pull through or back in.

 

yeah im in the wrong business if i knew all these guyz wanted these covers i would be making them haha...

 

I paid $100 for this one last November. Works fine; looks good.

 

Tought of buying that one, but it was gonne cost me about $200 including shipping.

Does that one also roll itsself up? Or is it just a flap?

For the extra 100 i'll think i rather have the original one.

I'll post the link, as soon as i have ordered one, still waiting on Paypall transver.

For U.S. people they cost $55 dollar less for you.. shipping and import

Congratulations...you will love the cover. The hardware is heavy duty and the fit and finish is perfect...kinda justifies the price. I ordered mine four years ago after contacting a dealership in London, England. At the time, they told me the UK warehouse had one left and he was holding it for me. That was the one I ordered and yes, shipping was steep due to size and weight (heavy gauge steel construction). Installation instructions were easy to follow and the entire installation took around 1/2hr. I also ordered the OEM cargo mat with dividers......

 

Mine doesnt roll up, but I have rolled it up manually and usually tck the roll behind the seats when not needed. No problem...my shipping for the $100 item was $13 as I recall.

 

Cargo covers are over rated. A little tint does wonders.

But If I ever change my mind I have a new one in the box, only open once while being searched at the border...
