All tan? Or black quarters with champagne or cashmere rugs? If the latter it’s black. If the former it’s usually black.
Black doesn’t reflect off the rear glass the way lighter colors will in the sun.

If you would like a recommendation for where to purchase a cargo cover, I had a cargo cover made for my 89 S4 by:
schnellekurve@t-online.de
Contact: Sandra
Location: near Stuttgart
Sandra hand makes each one to look like the factory cover and the price includes the mounting hardware.
She sent me swatches to choose from (cloth, leather or alcantara) in the color I needed (burgundy....not an easy color to match!). After ordering it on a Friday she had it completed and shipped by Monday.
I wanted something as close to original as I could get. FYI, The original stretch fabric is no longer available.
She was awesome to work with and I highly recommend her. She responds to emails immediately…considering the time zone difference. If you email her she can send you sample pics of her work.

The original may be NLA but this stuff is a pretty good facsimile:

Thanks. I since found out tan/caramel was not a color available for covers in '87-'91, so mine would be black, And yes, my car has black inside rear quarters, dash and part of the door panels.

FYI, we can still get the Genuine originals from Porsche. Just got one for a guy a few months ago.

If the hatch covers are available, why can't we find the material?
Just asking.

I think the original material is a double knit Ponte di Roma, but have never found it in a heavy enough weight.

Anderson had a trashed one, so I sent a square of the fabric to my fabric-whisperer aunt-in-law, who has been a costume designer in Hollywood for 40 years. Ponte Di Roma was her diagnosis- she pointed out how it's stretchy in both directions, but much more in one than the other. I need to cut out a 1/10 of a square yard of the stuff from a junked one and measure the weight accurately to get a sense of what we're looking for weight-wise.

It's flame retardant - makes perfect sense.
