DIY > Adding cargo net to trunk

Had the FRS for a week. One thing I've noticed is that anything in the trunk tending to slide around on the OEM trunk floor (I do not have the carpeted mat).

Installed a Bell Cargo Net today.... took about 20 minutes.



Bell Cargo Net Kit ($10 at Fred Meyers - WA)
[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Bell-22-1-33653-8-Cargo-Net/dp/B002C7DSIK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1358391302&sr=8-1&keywords=bell+cargo+net"]Available on Amazon.[/ame]



Kit comes with nice net and four knobs with screw-in mounting hardware.

The four corners of the OEM trunk floor flip-up, so I decided to mount the knobs just inside of the "wings".



Using Pick Awl to "tap" hole for installation of knob


Knob installed


Mounting screw in... tip extends too far


Cutting screw tip off


After cutting screw tip off



Gaffers tape used to cover backside of knob install


Trunk floor installed with knobs


Cargo net installed (corner loops go over knobs)




Note: When the net is stretched, this does put tension on the mounting knobs closest to the trunk lid (rear). I used some heavy duty industrial Velcro at the two corners to keep the wings from pulling up.

This will do for now.. until I decide what to do "long term" for the trunk.

Edit: Put the OEM trunk mat in - fit fine with net installed

I just bought a roll of black non-skid cabinet/rug liner at Kroger. Works like a champ.
