WTB Rear cargo blind
As per the title, I need a rear blind suitable for rebuilding. The colour doesn't matter but I want the parts that will be reused for the rebuilt blind to be in excellent shape. My shipper is in OH.
Thanks for looking.

Rich makes a very nice cover.
If you are interested in making one yourself (or having one made), here is a thread that shows how to do it (including making the hardware):

I got the bobbins from 928 International, and the rest from the hardware store. Vinyl from the fabric store. It was very easy to make and works quite well.

Greg,
I don't know what "quality" you want (ie, factory/OEM), or whether you're okay with a DIY solution which it sounds like (which can be as good as OEM if you have good needlework skills).
Last year I purchased a "ragged" cover from Parts Heaven in Hayward, CA (https://www.partsheaven.com/) with the intent of using only the hardware. I found a thread somewhere here on Rennlist (I think someone posted the link in a post above) that had some dimensions to cutting the pattern, and went to a fabric store and purchased some color-matched vinyl. I had my wife cut and seam the pattern. Meanwhile, I purchased some "bungee" cord via Amazon, and a few "bobbins" as Mark mentions and essentially built my own. Total cost was under $100 and that includes the zipper down the middle on the seat portion. If you can't find the hardware, you could easily fabricate it yourself if you're not all-thumbs.
I have the pattern cut out in cardboard and can replicate on butcher paper or equivalent and send it to you... at least it'll save you some time. Send me a PM if you want me to replicate the template for you.
