Re: iMiEV as workhorse
benswing, great photo 
I added a small stainless eye on the inboard sloping edge of the hatch (so as not to ding one on the head) in order to attach a rope or bungie to hold the hatch down when it's partially open. Hey - we don't have exhaust fumes being sucked back into the cabin

What a great little hack. I had to look closely to realize that was not a factory eyelet.

Don't go over a bump with that load resting on the rear window.

Yep; we can see it now! I like the roof rack you have attached. Keeps the mattresses from scratching up your roof!
