It works fine. Only get a bit of vibration if its empty, at 135 km/h on the highway, so it isn`t really an issue. I leave it in place, 24/7, since my wife drives around town with the twins daily, and we need it to visit the two sets of grandparents. So far so good. A bit of a pain that when you open it, you have to leave the key in the lock. And setting it up by myself wasn`t as easy as it should have been.
If you got the roll up net cargo protector that mounts on the back of the seats, and fits into holes in the roof, I can tell you it is quite useful. When driving with it up, it may interfere with your rearward mirror vision until you get used to it.
I recently moved the car seats for the boy from rear-facing to front-facing, and using the anchor tether points on the back of the seat (because my MY99 9-5SW does not have the LATCH system), I can`t use the cargo net because of the way the belts cross over the storage case for the net. OH well, the boys will eventually grow up!
Cheers,
CrNiFe
