Thank you for the guidance! Yes, I'm with you on the sunroof...I'm not getting it. Never had one, so I won't miss it. Glad to know the solid roof doesn't feel too closed in...that was the other thing I was worried about.
Good thought about the split rail...I'm going to take another look at that too before I order.

We also chose the 2-part rail since we often use the space behind the front seat in our (larger) similar vehicle for carrying bigger things and wanted that space to be available for use again. It was a good choice for us.

Our 2 cents

Yeah...I don't know why you can't get the same cosmetic options on any of the models. It shouldn't matter. I think I'd love the checkered pattern on the doors!
Thank you so much for your input! I appreciate it!

I agree about the checkered pattern, I love it too. As you pointed out, it would be great if you could get it on the door panels also.
As for the full vs. split rail, I'm going to take another look at that today. I don't think I will have the seats down often, since the dog won't be joining me in this car. (He has his own car...an Explorer, which he has already embedded his hair )
Thank you very much for your advice!

I went with the split rail, and am glad I did. When I have the ack seats down, I storethe cargo cover between the back seats and the front seats, and it fits nicely below the cargo line. The full rail would interfere with that, so the cargo cover would have to go on top of the cargo line. Since I usually have the seats down for my bike to fit in, I need every inch of length. Also, the split rail is easier for rear seat passengers.

That said, I love the interior lighting and bet it would look fantastic with the full rail. Practicality >> Cool factor for this one feature only.
