I’ve been wondering for some time what was the point of the two little fold-out brackets on the inside of the Megane’s boot.
I could see they clicked out into the boot space from their plastic side housings, but couldn’t figure out what they were supposed to hold. At one point I even wrestled open the dividing net from its Velcro-attached pouch to try and fit that to them. That brought no joy, but flicking through the manual saved the day. I knew the part of the load floor closest to the hatch lip flipped up to reveal a few safety items and small storage areas, but what I didn’t realise was that the flap could be secured to stand vertically to act as a boot divider – if it is carefully engaged with the brackets on both sides on its way up. The boot can now be compartmentalised with ease. The underside of the flap also sports a full-width elastic strap to secure stuff you don’t want rattling around. The only negative I can report is that the space the bracket housing takes up reduces that available behind each rear wheel arch. Still, given the flexibility of my new-found flap, maybe that doesn’t matter so much anymore.
