German term or phrase: Durchladefixierung
"Durchladefixierung: Ski und Snowboards können bei umgeklappter Bank und Vordersitz ganz unkompliziert mit der Durchladefixierung befestigt werden."

This is a from an automotive brochure. It's clear from the above sentence what is meant, but I'm not sure what this would be called in English.

Any ideas or suggestions very much appreciated.

Many thanks

Explanation:
the Durchlade is a load-through hatch or l.-t. facility, and is often the same thing as the centre armrest on the rear bench. You pull down the armrest, and then there is an opening through which skis and long objects can be inserted.

Here I think they're saying that when the rear bench is folded down, you no longer have this opening (as then it's horizontal), but long objects can still be secured by means of the 'Fixierung' on the back of the rear backrest (which is folded forward).

Any idea what the thingie looks like? Might make it easier to decide which term to use.

Explanation:
i would call it like this.
i know that the 'durchladeeinrichtung' is simply called 'ski flap', but this is wrong in this context since it is no ski flap here.
