I found the gap in the load cover makes sense when the cargo barrier is used as well. The gap means I can use the load cover without removing the cargo barrier. I like to use the cargo barrier because I can load up the back and not worry about stuff falling onto the kids in the back, especially if we are stopped suddenly.

That makes sense.
Would you mind sharing a picture of your barrier? I assume this is different from the dog guard?

Images as promised

Many thanks.
So there's still quite gap even with that installed then?

Apparently the Yeti and the Roomster have a similar problem (perhaps current/former owners can confirm), but these accessories are also available:

I can't find anything similar for the Kodiaq.

Thanks, these look ideal for what's required. Perhaps they will start to be produced for the Kodiaq too. :?

It's to allow the rear seats the space to recline..?

Ys but when they are reclined, it's not a comfortble rear seat position, so therefore in a 'normal' comfortable position, a rather large gap is left between seats and load cover.
