Hi guys,

I have bought a 05 Tucson for my wife just yesterday. It has a hard cargo cover in the truck. There is a about 10 inches long tie hanging from the cover. The tie ends with a plastic hook. It all looks genunue Hyundai.

What ios the purpose of the hook? The dealer did not know. After couple munites of trying to hook up the hook to something, he gave up and said that "it's probably just a random hook". %-)

So, If you know what the hook is for - let me know too. Thanks

 

I don't own a Tuscon but it sounds exactly what my Pontiac Vibe had. Basically you use it as a hands-free way to hold up hard cargo coverso you canaccess what's under it. The hook attaches to the top of the rear hatch opening.

 

Trace a line vertically along the hatch from where the tie comes out of the cover. I bet you will find a feature to hook the end of the tie line to so that, as my good friend and longtime associate, NovaResouce says, when you open your hatch the cargo cover is automatically raised.

 

Surprise! I did not find any place to attach the hook to.

That was my first idea too.

 

It fits perfectly over the rubber seal at the top of the opening.
