Thanks Rob3 for letting me know that I could fix my cargo cover. These instructions was a little hard for me to understand but I get the gist. So I repaired mine and here are my instructions:

I was halfway through a 3 hour drive to mid coast Maine when I heard a loud metal scraping sound. It scared the crap out of me! I thought that something had just broken off under my car or the tailgate window had crashed out. When I got to a rest stop I looked under the car but everything seemed normal. Then I open the tailgate and my tonneau cover is all droopy. It had been fine forever but I guess something inside let go and the spring recoiled which made that loud noise. I couldn't help but laugh at that point. Tomorrow's a holiday, good time for an indoor project.

Thread revival.

Had my cargo cover sitting in the closet for a couple months, and went to reinstall it today (wife going to teach in a B-more neigborhood known for its "break a window and grab" thieves). The damn thing won't retract after pulling it out, and now I am here.

I read your FAQ rspi, and it makes enough sense to attempt. How well is yours holding up, with the plastic instead of copper piping?

I will be giving it a go tonight hopefully - I can do nuts and bolts, but I hate working on interior plastic.

Thanks
Michael

You can just lay the cover over the easily-fenceable-goods in the back as a temp measure, of course.
