Default Installing parcel net
I'm sure I must be a little slow, but for the life of me I can't figure out how the parcel net is supposed to be installed. I've read the owner's manual and searched the archives here and can't find the info. Help, please.

I have mine set up right behind the seats. It is only attached by 2 nuts, but it serves the purpose and I can reach what I need from the drivers seat

You've got to install it. It allows you to drive the car like it should be driven even coming back from the grocery store

You can fit two 40 lbs bag of cow manure in that net, which keeps it from flopping around in the hatch area.... Gm thought of everything

Nevermind, I found the two "missing" ones. They were in the bottom of the bag that holds the net and shade.

Thanks to all for your help with this.
