Default 130 - 3rd Seat Rear "Cover" Broken

After having the 3rd row seats down for some time, I pulled up the row and noticed that one of the "covers" that cover the hinge area as broken and now lays down when the seats are upright. Has anyone come across this issue as well? Is there a part number to replace this piece? I'm curious to see if this would be replaced by the new, flat load/rear storage area that has been promised with the 2024 130's & available parts. This whole assembly is pretty touchy and unfortunate that this is broke after only 6k miles.

why not just take it to the dealer and get it replaced under warranty? Something like this should be covered.

Hi I have exactly the same problem with my 130.

Have not had opportunity to take to local dealership in UK yet though.

Along the same line as this, have either of you found a suitable boot liner for the 130? I’m after a thick plastic moulded one which I can slide in for the 99% of the time that the 3rd row is down. Can’t find anything yet, I’m in the uk.

I've got two broken on my '23 130. I suppose I could get it warrantied, but based on how its built, myself or one of my kids are going to break it fairly shortly anyways lol.

The first few 2024’s have been delivered and from what I’ve seen for sale online they don’t have the flat rear storage area. Hope mine has it when it comes in but not looking good.

Default The same piece broke 3 times already on my 2023 130. Keep hoping they improve it.

Let dealer cover the fix or replacement under warranty. Hopefully, LR will come up with a better and sturdier solution to this issue.
