CX-90 Retractable Cargo Cover worth it?

Somewhat related, I have the OEM one for my CX-9. It's a good piece. The underfloor storage also has a recess perfect for storing the cargo cover when not in use. It appears that the CX-90 doesn't have this recess, which is a minor nitpick, but also a reason to consider the aftermarket versions.
I will say that the cargo cover was used maybe two or three times over the last 6 years. I'm happy that I was able to get it for a very steep discount because I never ended up using it much.

I dont know about the CX-90, but in general cargo covers for 3 row SUVs don’t work great. Especially if you don’t have a place to store it when not in use. That is because they often cannot work in all the various third row configurations.
If you have one that mounts behind the second row, you can’t use it when the third row is up. If it mounts behind the third row only then it is very short and not really useful.

I would advise against it. Why? I bought one for my previous 2022 Lincoln Corsair GT. Used it a few times and found it a royal annoyance to be nice. I ended up throwing it out as there was no place to store it and it got in the way when I needed to lower the second row seats. Besides, I had all the windows dark tinted so no one could look into the vehicle. I did not need the cover after doing that. Suggest spending the $$ on window tinting instead.

Damn, never knew that...many a time it sat on my floor in house, for days before I bothered to put it back!

I never thought about it that way, always used mine thinking it was a deterrence. Interesting.
One thing I like about them, I use them as a second surface level. So lighter items, like coats, my kids blankets or toys, snacks, etc, I put those on top on trips. Then they don't interfere with the bigger stuff such as luggage etc. Even wet towels or swimsuits, on top.
When my kid was younger, did this a lot since we had more stuff and the stroller was on bottom with its odd shape. And wife would be in back seat and she used it for storage for all her baby stuff, easily accessible while we were on road. Wipes, roll of paper towels, extra shirt or pants for kid, etc.
Limited obviously for weight, but I hate trying to load/unload with a bunch of stuff piled up, this way at least some is out of way.

In CA, we don't prosecute theft below $920. Misdemeanor only. Cops don't bother to bring them to police station even. That's why you see the $0 group shopping happening in CA all over the places. The shops tell employees not to intervene.... so, they have their ways. If you try to stop them, you will get fired as an employee.
In SF, they even open the hatches for the thieves... don't break the hatch glass. It is open, you see?
Using a cargo cover? Your car will be the only one got broken in. It is that bad in SF. Next time you come to SF... watch out. I went there last year, a homeless guy tried to hit me for no reason.
