Re: cargo cover
Be interested to know if there are any too.
We wanted to get one for our pre-2004 ST, but Nissan said the ST didnt have any attachment points, so it was something like $400 for the cover, plus big installation costs.
Consequently we still havent got a cover, but have considered making a simple homemade one of of fabric and elastic.

Re: cargo cover
As a suggestion why not try an auto upholsterer they may be able to source a mechanism and manufacture a cover.
Worth a try at least

Guys, I presume you're talking about the cargo blind? If yes, then I got one for my 2002 ST from the dealer at the time of purchase (i.e. thrown-in) and it didn't need any super big installation methods as the ST has already got the required fittings for it and all they do is slot the blind in place. In fact I just got mine replaced under warranty, as it wouldn't retract correctly into place, so they gave me a new one. I have to admit that I don't like the quality of these cargo blinds anyway and since I have installed my extra seat at the back, I'm no longer using the blind anyway (well, at the moment at least)
I would be very interested to find-out if there are any X-Trail at the wreckers, as I couldn't find any in Sydney. I'm a wrecker fan myself 
Cheers,
Jalal

Ok I may have exagerated about "super big" installation costs  , but they definately had to attach some extra clips that the ST didnt have. On top of the $400, which seemed excessive for what is basically a horizontal blind, I didnt persue it.
When I was trolling the auction circuit for my xtrail there were a few that were accident damaged. Just minor dings, so they were probably picked up by repair shops and re-sold. You'd need a write-off to get to the wreckers I'd imagine.

Re: cargo cover
Very good idea Spoony.
I have exactly the same problem and decided to leave the left side of the cover open, as it keeps snapping off.
Those factory clips are fiddly and poor quality indeed. I might actually try and change the clips themselves as they barely hold in place.
