Default Looking for a rear cargo organizer

What I'm looking for is something like the C6 version that fit directly behind the seats and had 3 useful compartments. Like this:




No, not the one with two cup holders from the southern vendor. . . .
(What the heck do you need two extra cup holders for anyway??)

Any organizer ideas for the front of the C7 cargo area??

I am in the same situation as you. I had the C6 organizer you have pictured and it was a very needed and used accessory. I've looked and cannot find anything like it for the C7. The best I've come up with so far is a partition that turns the front section of the hatch area into an independent space so stuff does not slide to the back.
http://www.exoticvette.com/c7-cargo-partitions.html <----CF Vendor.

And, there are many inexpensive soft organizers on that "prime" web site. I have not identified one that will work well yet because my car IS NEVER GOING TO GET HERE!!!

Anyway, hope this helps some.

That reminds me of the Southern Car Parts Stingray Trunk Partition
While less expensive, it appears to take more cargo space than the exoticvette.com partition.




The exoticvette partition allows the Targa Top to be in the car with the partition still up. But exoticvette is a little too proud of their piece. . . the 'corvette tax' is a little high on this one.

I miss having the C6 cargo organizer that was in my '08 also. One reason you will never see one like it for the C7 from GM is because it is all but impossible for the passenger or driver to retrieve anything behind them due to the high lateral support bolsters on the excellent supportive C7 seats. That was an unforeseen compromise IMO.

Because it is rather hard to reach behind you when in the car I decided to go with a console pouch like the one above. Plenty big enough for what I need to keep in it and easy to get to.

They sure do make an organizer for the C7. Not too much thought was put into this poor design with its stupid cup holders and shallow bins. But the fact it's being sold is proof a bunch of us are limber enough to reach behind and drop something in a bin!
Some of us are looking for something as useful as the GM C6 design. Any ideas??

LOL these aftermarket ones are horrible. I had the one the OP pictured in my C6 as well. It was a GM accessory. I'm surprised with all the stuff they offer now, this isn't one.

Many C7 owners have bought the 3 section cargo net. Easy to install, easy to remove, cheap. I have one myself and it works great when I need it.

FWIW: Depends on just what you're carrying and how frequently. I use the same Organizer/Carrier the wife uses in her SUV (she has several.) it collapses and lays flat so most often, I can put whatever on top of it.

When carrying groceries I found I needed some fixed partitions to carry milk etc without the chance of tipping. Made some partitions from wood that can be slipped together or lay flat as needed. Here are some pics:




Nylon Carrier Collapsed. Sits on Fender Pad I Use to Protect Rear When Loading Golf Clubs etc



Carrier Opened, Note this One Has a Zippered Cover and Velcro Strips on Bottom



Wood Partitions Lay Flat When Not in Use and Slip Together When Needed
