Our review of this Powerty cargo cover finds it best suited for owners of the 2013-2018 Acura RDX with the power tailgate who want a close-to-factory retractable shield to hide and protect items in the rear cargo area. The biggest reason to buy is the updated fit: the cover follows the original vehicle radian and removes the common gap between the back seats and the cover, producing a tidy, integrated appearance while offering UV protection and an easy snap-on install.

Key Features

• Precise fit: Designed for 2013-2018 Acura RDX models with the power tailgate, the cover follows the original body radian for a factory-like fit and finish.
• No gap update: The updated version eliminates the space between the back seats and trunk cover, improving security and visual continuity.
• Quiet retraction: Retract heads are sueded covered to protect the interior and reduce rattling or noise when driving on rough roads.
• Durable material: Made from waterproof, tear-resistant nylon with structural reinforcement to withstand normal cargo use and easy cleaning.

Who It's For

This cargo cover is for owners of the Acura RDX model years 2013 through 2018 who specifically have the power tailgate rear gate and want a product that looks and fits like the factory shade. It is especially useful for drivers who store luggage, groceries or electronics in the cargo area and want extra UV protection and privacy.

It is not suitable for RDX base models without the power tailgate, and buyers seeking a heavy-duty security lock box or cargo barrier should look elsewhere. Also, those wanting metal or rigid hard covers should consider alternate products tailored for load-bearing protection.
