That is the Exoticvette partition with a rear emblem from the dealer. Emblem is attached to the carpet via velcro, so if I need to remove it for any reason, it pops right off.

This is a really good idea. That flapping has always really annoyed me. I did this little DIY project this morning.

Thanks!

The beauty of the partition is that the flap drops behind it therefore eliminating the flapping even without the additional weight.

Try a 1/4" plastic covered cable and push it in the seam. Plastic protects from scratching and is flexible enough and heavy enough to work.

AL

Thanks for the info, the plastic driveway pole/rod looks like a great compromise and seems to do the job.
