Mine arrived today and it looks fabulous. Thank you so much for making this happen: like so much, if people don't step up, nothing happens...

Received mine today and as James states, it looks fantastic.  No luggage in the trunk at the moment so just used the strap to hold down a few items to see how it looked.  Fit is excellent.
