2005 Explorer Cargo Shade

[olliegam21]

I am looking to purchase a cargo shade for my 05 Explorer XLS. I am finding them a little pricey... Does anyone know what other years I can look into that will fit my 2005? I found a 2011 Explorer cargo shade for $20.00 on Craigslist and don't know if it will fit.... Any help will be appreciated!!!

I too would like to know the answer to this. Even the second gen Explorers are cheaper.

I ended up doing more and more research, what I found is that you can use the cargo shades from 1998 to 2010 and they will fit. I was lucky and just purchased one on Ebay for $40 bucks including the shipping!

I will tell you though the part that you pull to close the shade is about a 1/2" to wide and I just cut it and it works great... hope this helps ya!
