Default I Installed a home-made Cargo Net.

Yesterday I decided to make a rear cargo net to keep items from sliding forward all the time. It's kind of a crude creation....I spent about 30 minutes making it. Since I had no idea where to buy a good net, I ended up going to the local outdoor/sports authority store here in Austin. the only rectangular net I could find that would work was a 15 foot sardine net. 15 ft was a bit too much, so I of course had to downsize it a bit, cut off the weights and styrofoam things, but in the end, my crude creation works. I bought a couple of adjustable bungie cords to hold the net in place. I don't have my camera handy, but I'll be able to post pics in the next couple of hours. The cords attach to the rear compartment lids and to the targa top holders. Even with the cargo net attached to the holders, I can still put the top in them if need be. One of these days I'll actually take the time and make a properly fitted, "professionally" done cargo net.

ok........ so it's rude, crude, and totally unacceptable... but it works!
It's a special design technique that I cannot disclose. It's not that I don't want to disclose it, it's just I think you all might hold me liable for such a horrid creation.



I have my cargo shade closed all the time, so it's hardly noticeable unless the shade is open (probably a good thing).

It may be simple and crude,But if it gets the job done then don't fret what others care about it,I think it's quite inginuitive.

If women don't find you handsome, they can sure find you handy.
That plan has crossed my mind a few times, but I think I'll be using fishnet stockings to make mine.
