The reason I bought this cargo cover was to hide the contents in the back of the Fit. The big problem here is that the cover does not hide the contents. There are gaps in both the front (between the seat and cover) and the back (between the window and cover). If you are just walking by the car fairly quickly you won't notice whats inside however if you stop to look you can easily peer into the 'gap' and see the contents. I also tried looking in at night with a keychain LED flashlight and can easily tell what is inside. I did a Google search on the 2012 Fit cargo cover to make sure I had everything installed correctly. What I found out is that they changed the design this year to allow the gaps for whatever reason. If you really want a cover I would recommend getting a custom one professionally installed. I ended up returning the product to the seller and got a full refund. A blanket in the back gets the job done if you really need to cover something and is much more portable.

I was about to buy this cargo cover and I read all the issues with gaps and knew there had to be a solution. Well besides reclining your seats and staying with the 2013 model, you can buy the older version (2009 or so) and not only will it fit in your 2013 but it also has flaps that will cover any gaps between the seat and cover. I don't know of any other differences but it fit just fine for me.Best Deals for Honda Fit Genuine Factory OEM 08U35-TK6-111 Cargo Cover 2013
The 2012 model 08U35-TK6-111 did not come with the so called snaps and backing that you have to install to the back of the seats. (this would fill the gap)Yes there is a 3 inch or so gap between the back seats and this Cargo cover. I cannot understand why they designed it with a gap. I think that having the snaps would get annoying when I wanted to fold my seats down. My 1989 Toyota Corolla FX had one of these cargo covers and it fit just like this one did but there were no gaps.
Besides that small gap back there it covers the rest. I will be tinting the windows and even without the windows tinted you can not really see between the gap from the outside to see what is in the "trunk". I got this cover to cover the rear and protect from heat and prying eyes. For the price it should of covered the entire area. I can not see a design reason for it not extending in the back 3 more inches.
Because I will be tinting the windows in the end this will work out very nicely for me as extra protection for the sun and prying eyes. Some aftermarket company needs to come out with one that extends 3 more inches and for half the price and they would make a killing.
