So while trying to source a cargo cover for my 94 T5 wagon I realized that there were brackets bolted onto the window frame in the trunk area.
I was wondering if they were for the 3rd row seat, but the car came w/o the 3rd row seat.

The parts numbers of these brackets are 9124500 and 3542959. A quick seatch didn't get me any results on these parts numbers. After remivung these brackets I could mount a regular cargo cover out of a 96 wagon.

Were the early cargo covers different?

Is it for the fabled and incredibly rare lidded boot compartment?

No idea. Never seen that fitting. It is not the 3rd row seat mounting, not is it the load cover screen. The side rails under the window are something I have never seen before. What Cookeh says I have never heard of. Maybe a European only option?

According to this post viewtopic.php?f=1&t=80269&p=552871&hili ... ge#p552871 the pet cage folds up and attaches near the roof.

This is the item I mean. But on inspection it cannot be correct, as the bracket is mounted higher than the luggage compartment.

Please also see attached the full catalogue of parts accessories for the P80s in the EU market, may be of interest to someone somewhere.

Precisely how much does a hen weigh?

I was wondering if that location could be for the fabled cooler...
