I've been in this situation a few times where I have something hanging out the hatch of a car. Often, there isn't really anything to hold the hatch down. But at slightly open positions like this, the handle for the hatch is perfectly oriented to clip a bungee cord on and hold it down.

Is this just a coincidence? Maybe. Still pleased me when strapping it down in the parking lot

I do wish there were actually a hook of some kind, though, for when it's significantly more open. Not that I've actually needed that.

it's a piece of shit now but I guess I'll keep it until it falls apart because there's not really a replacement for it lol

trying to get a 2015ish Elantra Touring for when it does die

lol what's wrong with it? i love my Legacy and if it dies i will rebuild it however many times it needs it! 💪
if you want a reliable car, maybe don't pick a Hyundai... or another Subaru lol
