Default Cargo area question

Does anyone make a container or divider that fits in the cargo area in a C4 that holds items so they don`t slide around when traveling? This can be a real adventure when making turns or braking.
Thanks

I don't recall any more but see if WeatherTech (advertises in all the big car mags), Herrington's, or MidAmerica (would be my first place to look). Yes, it can be interesting....

I bought one of those carpet mats for the cargo area from Corvette Central, I believe. It was black and about $29 if memory serves. The carpet side attracted a lot of lint and such so I turned it over. The other side is a rubber with little nubs sticking up. It looks better reversed and also keeps things from sliding around like my fire extinguisher which I do not have mounted.

I haven't seen anything w/ compartments like you can buy for a C5, ask on the C5 Forum there is a company that makes a divider & trays for C5's. You could contact this company & ask about them. Don f

Weathertech makes a cargo mat for the C4 and Mid America has a divider, but it covers the whole back end, might be alright.

I found one made for SUV's by Michellin. It is deep enough to keep things from getting out from the cargo bay, but a net would be a better solution.
I hate to have things flying around when cornering.

If you pack enough stuff, nothing will slide.
