What Is a Cargo Cover?

A cargo cover sits directly behind the rear seats and stretches across the hatch area.

Its primary functions include:

Privacy

Keeps belongings hidden from view.

UV Protection

Reduces direct sunlight exposure.

Cleaner Appearance

Creates a more organized interior.

Cargo Separation

Defines the rear storage area.

Many owners don’t realize how useful a cargo cover is until they start driving without one.

Why RSX Owners Need One

The RSX hatch glass offers excellent visibility, but it also gives everyone outside a clear view of what’s inside.

Common items often left in the hatch include:

• Backpacks
• Tools
• Laptop bags
• Camera gear
• Detailing products
• Spare parts

A cargo cover helps conceal these items and adds an extra layer of security.

Factory-Inspired Design

One of the biggest advantages of the IKON Motorsports cargo cover is its OEM-style appearance.

OE Style Construction

Benefits include:

• Factory-inspired look
• Clean fitment
• Matches interior aesthetics
• Maintains stock appearance

For restoration projects, OEM-style accessories help preserve the original character of the RSX.

Improves Interior Appearance

A missing cargo cover leaves the hatch area fully exposed.

Installing a cover creates:

Cleaner Cabin Presentation

The rear storage area appears organized.

Less Visual Clutter

Loose items stay out of sight.

More Premium Feel

Makes the interior look more complete.

This is particularly noticeable on well-maintained Type-S builds and show cars.

UV Protection Benefits

Sunlight can be surprisingly damaging.

Over time, UV exposure may contribute to:

Interior Fading

Plastic trim can lose color.

Material Deterioration

Heat accelerates wear.

Cargo Damage

Certain items can be affected by prolonged sunlight.

The cargo cover helps reduce direct exposure to stored belongings.

Perfect for Daily Drivers

This upgrade is ideal for:

Keep personal items hidden.

Students

Protect backpacks and electronics.

Enthusiasts

Store tools and parts discreetly.

Road Trips

Maintain a cleaner interior appearance.

It’s one of the most useful OEM-style accessories available for the RSX.

Great for RSX Restorations

Many used RSXs are missing their original cargo cover.

Common reasons include:

• Previous owners removed them
• Lost during moves
• Damaged over time
• Discarded during modifications

Replacing missing interior pieces is one of the easiest ways to make a DC5 feel complete again.

Easy Installation

The cargo cover is designed as a direct-fit replacement.

Typical installation involves:

1. Positioning the cover in factory mounting locations
2. Securing the cover
3. Verifying smooth operation

No cutting or modification is typically required.
