Apologies for this being a bit low tech, but one of the spring clips on the luggage cover keeps falling off. It just pushes back on but its a real pain. Is there meant to be something that holds this in or is it just luck is doesn't normally come out ?

Happened to me today too (first time).

Duct tape?

This has happened a few times to me. I got the hump and took the luggage cover out to have a good look. There is a very small lug which holds the spring in, so to ensure it caught properly I pushed the spring clip in with a small electrical screwdriver to ensure it was properly seated. Has not popped out since so am hoping this has cured it.

Noticed the same problem this morning for my partner's car - it was the LHS clip when you look from the back of the car.

Are there any special techniques required to remove the cover from the hinge plates held down by the screws at the back of the luggage recess? A quick look this afternoon didn't give me a clear idea of how the cover could be removed - the owner was looking over my shoulder to make sure I didn't do any damage so I couldn't be too adventurous.

I can't speak to that from personal experience, but on page 5 of the linked PDF is a photo and a caption that might help...

Steve0's link is spot on, just fitted my smart top last week as it happens. My clip was also the left one viewed from the back of the car.

Great link and the information will save me a lot of time - thank you SteveO.

As mentioned above, the luggage comes out by popping out the hinge cover on the left side and the whole thing slides out (I think this is in the owners manual).

Its odd that it seems to be the left side clip that comes out. I reckon there should be some form of cover to hold it in. I may attack it with a hot-glue gun to see if that fixes it.

Mine is the left hand clip too Got it fix during last servicing and was told that some issue on the clip and the tech has fixed and will monitor it.

My left hand clip has always come out. I keep meaning to try super glue.



Cheers Steve.

Left hand clip falls out a lot, but right hand one does it as well.
Seems to be a rubbish design with a poor plastic lug to retain (or not).

Mine has come out twice since I got my beautiful Eos in May! Nuisance but not yet worth telling the garage.
