I'm unable to fit the cargo shelf under the floor in my T5 hybrid XC40. I think it's because os the 12 V battery that is located under the cargo floor.

The battery isn't shown in the manual. Anyone else with the same problem?

Did you try fitting the shelf upside down under the floor? I have the original T5 so I don't have the batteries but mine fits better this way.

A little difficult to get the load cover in in the recharge but it does fit.

Boot floor is slightly raised but putting anything in the boot over about 2kg fixes that ( my dog helped in my case)

Yes I did fit it upside down. The floor doesn't go all the way down and I don't want to force it with weight...

I've never stored mine under the boot floor. Tend to store in the hallway or garage and replace on my return.

Yes I did. It just doesn't fit. The room (vertical) between the battery and cargo floor isn't enough to fit the shelf. It's useless.
