Quick question,

I'm picking up a couch with my LR4 and it won't fit all the way in.

If I leave the bottom of the tail gate flat is there anyway to fasten the glass part of the tail gate closed?

I don't have far to drive but I don't like the idea of the top part just being open. I wasn't sure if bungie cords or ties would hook anywhere.

Thanks!

Sure, I use a Thule strap to connect the latch of the glass tailgate to one of the chrome tie-down hooks in the floor. If the couch is covering the entire floor, take the cover off the rear bumper and run the strap through the tow hook instead.

I have done it before, but I have a ladder on the back which works great for bungees.
