I have the Capts Chairs for the 2nd row, which means I don't have a solid bench to keep the cargo area separate from the seating area. Have any of you fabricated or used something to keep the cargo from sliding into the seating area? A simple board would work, but where would you put it when you unexpectedly need the 3rd row seating? Is there anything official from Ford or aftermarket to make the divide?

I could just use an 8" board and then set it down in the foot area or behind the 3rd row when the I need to seat add'l people, but would be heavy and unwieldy. What have you guys done?

I have a piece of 1/4" pegboard that I use. It fits behind the 3rd row and I use it to keep things from sliding between the seats. I actually have two pieces. When I need a flat bed. I lower the seats and put the long board over the space between the 2nd and 3rd row and the short piece over the space between the two 2nd row captain's chairs. Then I cover the whole thing with a blanket.

I also have the rear bucket seats. They are great for a four passenger trip. I have a Weathertech mat in the rear cargo area. The mat has a lip on all sides. With the lip, I have had no problem with cargo sliding forward into the gap area between the seats.

I had a friend build a center console that fit perfectly between the two seats. I removed the 40/20/40 middle seat because I wanted the extra storage a center console offers. Sadly I had more under floor storage in my Escape, which I was shocked to see after getting my Expy.
