Did a forum/google search but nothing.

Ask as the F-type has it and has a smaller boot/trunk, so logic denotes you'd be putting less in it than an XK. Am guessing no one has but on this side of the pond it rains a fair bit and when am out shopping it's a pain to have to put the bags down to open the tailgate fully, not only that but I then have to put bags with soggy bottoms into the car

Life would be easier...sigh

I know I'm just being lazy, but if anyone knows of a reasonably priced aftermarket solution then please post up

 

I've often thought about it in the past, and while we're at it, can we get a rear glass windshield wiper too?

 

I get around 60% more rain than you do in LA

When I had my car paint corrected and ceramic sealed in Oct, I had all of the glass nano protected with Gtechniq G1 Clearvision Smart Glass, as reviewed here:

The Best Rain Repellent for Windshields in 2018

No issues whatsoever and have to use the wipers half as much as on other untreated car glass, because the rear is so raked there's hardly any on it in heavy rain on the rear when in motion.

 

 

Will you quit with the gym references all the time, and stop generalising about everyone else physical fitness!? I go twice a day on weekdays and once at weekends as well as using weights at home. Plus going to the gym and actually working out are two different things, I have a strict regime and my phone doesn't even know where the gym is...whereas half the 'gym goers' seem there to catch up on social media, post selfies or chat...based on the number of them I have to ask to get off the machines when they've been sitting their for 5 minutes doing nothing but tapping on their phones, and weirdly they seem offended that I'd even ask! Am guessing you're probably one of those gym warriors...and see you got me generalising now....grrr!

So please try not to mention physical activity in your next 10 posts...you know you can do it...and if you manage it you will get to step 1 in your recovery

 

Yeah, I agree with Marky and Brew, no contraptions on the back.

Besides, if the glass is kept nice and clean and nano-coated, ceramic-coated or waxed well, water will shed right off it.

Dunno about a power lift....... XKs aren't really built for shopping trips...

 

I think those that want it have ctek connectors under the lift?

 

And an F-Type is (which is why I mentioned at the start)??

Only my son and I do buy for so is fine, but appreciate if you have multiple wives and children it may be a bit cramped

 

 

Don't tell my wives about any of my girlfriends, they may get upset.
And, all the kids are grown and out. Now I'm stuck with 74 grand kids and 155 great grand kids. That PLUS all the kids of the Girl Friends.
Christmas is murder around here, I always end up renting a stadium.

 

Hmm, I've never noticed this.

When I get my new battery I'll have to check.

It seems like all it takes is bump unlock, and bump up. No "lifting" required, just a nudge, and it goes.

Could be condition of hatch struts.

 

Back glass stays clear above 40 mph, actually drys off at 50. One of the cooler features on the car.

 

Do you guys drive in the rain? Don't these cars melt if hit by water. Another myth squashed.

 

They're designed in England! Plenty of water around here, mate!
Pedantically, I think they'd dissolve rather than melt.

 

 

 

The reason I mentioned a wiper for the rear hatch glass is not for rain as we only get about 5 days per year in Los Angeles, but for fog and mist on the window so that you can't look out of it. The electric defroster takes too much more time than a simple wiper would, but somehow I've managed to put 150,000 miles on my car without it, I'll suffer onwards.
