In my 2008 SE it was part of the spec find it useful for carrying my fishing rods but i agree its a pig to get back in its space. Ex D1, D2, D3 owner now 2008 TDV8 Vogue SE

My TD6 Vogue didn't have it but the Vogue SE does have it.

I've been tempted to get it out to look at it but the comments on here have stopped me.

Can anyone tell me how long the skis can be that fit in the ski hatch bag? ie what the total length from the tip of the bag to the rear tailgate is.

I have had the ski hatch in several cars and to be honest they are a pain in the behind for the passengers. I used to drape towels or blankets over them to make them "comfortable" for the passengers and create some sort of arm rest. Getting the skis in and out is also a pain as the bindings are usually in that hatch area and tend to get stuck on the edges

They are of course great if you don't want to have the MIL case on the roof although those are handy for skis, snowboards and the boots.

I prefer snowboards anyway, they fit in the back without needing the ski hatch. I could fit my board (quite a long board) in sideways in most cars (we used to take the bindings off). Not that I will be boarding here anytime soon . MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

I can't give the exact measurement but 1.84m's fit in easily and don't reach the rear heater controls!

I too cover the skis, but having a sharp divider between teenagers in the back seat is not always a bad thing ...

hahahahahaha That is an advantage that I have not seen yet (my girls are too young for the sibling rivalry and are big friends). Very good point, in that case snowboards will come in handy or maybe I should go back to skiing again !!!!

Will start on the design of a kid divider for the FFRR, controllable from the front seats. Pneumatically controlled arm that can slap them when they misbehave I see possibilities here !!! MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
