Removing luggage cover

I've just got a 1995 Volvo 850 (UK). I've been trying to remove the luggage cover, the fabric cover you can pull over the load space. The owners manual says just to slide it to the left to disengage it from the right side and pull it out. The cover will move to the left, but it's still about 3/4 cm away from disengaging from the holder.

Am I doing something wrong or is it defective in some way?

Thanks

John

Under the right hand side of the cover, looking from the rear of the car, there is a sliding handle. Push that to the left, then pull the right hand side rearwards to disengage it. Once the right hand side is out then the left hand side will pull clear.

Well it does in a V70 and I doubt it's ant different on an 850.

It is different on the 850, there is no lever. I undid 2 small torx screws each side and then it came out as described in the manual. I think maybe the torx screws were some kind of DIY addition to make it more sturdy.
