I am, also. The addition of the two tie-down eyelets in the C7 should be taken advantage of.

Here is something that I put together with a little bit of scrap wood that I had laying around in our basement.

It's very lightweight, weighs less than a pound, and I was able to make it specifically for my needs.

I think anyone could do it, just go to Home Depot or Lowe's and have them cut the pieces based on your measurements. It is about 3 inches tall, so that it fits flush with the bump up behind the seats. It is not reconfigurable, but it is very simple to make and inexpensive.

This is how, in my C6, I control a jack, a extendable lug wrench, a torque wrench with a 19mm socket and short extension , a 4'X6' plastic tarp, jacking pucks, old towel and hand cleaner. All in a 6" X 8" X 18" duffel bag, secured to the attachment points GM furnished for the cargo net.

Buy some of the little plastic basket carriers, shoebox size or a little bigger and stick some Velcro on the bottom.

I have a light C7 jacket that sits in the cargo net in the trunk. Works well.

Uh-oh. No, I did not. My bad. However, it was listed on page one. I certainly did not search for this.

Thanks for calling to my attention. I figured out what happened: I fell victim to the “Related Thread” gremlin and paged down too far to reply to current cargo thread.

I don't know if it could be installed tightly enough in our cars, but my wife has an extendable rod in the trunk of her sedan that can be fitted to almost any width and tightened against the sides of the "trunk." Not a foolproof solution, but it works remarkably well in her application and gives a very solid restraining rod that can be moved about as needed, and lashed to.
