Back panel that covers storage area

[ljhopeless]

So before i picked up the ST i watched a ton of reviews and such on it, and a common thing i was seeing was people pointing out that the back panel that covers the storage area had the same explorer outline that is on the windshield, however my 22 does not have that. Was it removed in a previous year, or did only some 22's get it. it was on the black hard plastic piece about the cut out that you use to remove it, pic for reference

My 22 doesn't have that either , I work for Ford so I will look into this .....
Could be an aftermarket piece ?

The marketing behind the panel was one side was easy to spray off if covered in mud from shoes. Then it could switched back to the felt side.

So when I ordered my 21 there was a cargo organization option that I got, part of that was the cover you are talking about that was reversible along with a few other things.

So, all this talk of a reversible panel made me have a look this morning. I have owned the ST for 2 years and never noticed the rubber side. Thanks for letting me know.

So I looked at the Ford Canada site....a $100 option. Easily over looked when checking all the boxes.

That panel area has a few nice hidden tricks. It can be stored on the lower level to make the area deeper, used as a carpeted lid for hidden compartment or rubber matt side. Also the side panels can be reversed as well or stored vertically to make storage pockets on either side.
