Insanely dim Cargo Net question

[ukaskew]

Got a Cargo Net from Ebay today for my 172 Cup, damned if I know how to fit the bloody thing! Had less trouble putting my Carbon Splitter on a couple of weeks ago.

Any advice?! It has odd looking plastic clips in each corner but there doesnt appear to be a logical place to actually clip them in the car.

Feel free to mock me

Is there not 4 anchor points on the boot floor?

Do a search as its been asked before and there are some photos to show how it fits.

Cheers just found it. I did put it there but it seemed very pointless so I figured it had to be somewhere else.

Feel like Ive wasted a few quid now, its useless!

If youre after somewhere to put bits and bobs then these car boot tidys are great.

They have velcro on the bottom and back so they stick to the carpet in the boot . Ive got two side by side in my boot and they fit perfectly up against the rear of the back seat. And as they are made out of carpet they are almost a spot on match for the rest of the boot.

How does it hold shopping though? Its barely off of the boot floor. I was under the assumption it would be higher up so it would fully support anything you put in it.

It held an awful lot of stuff safely when lapping the nurburgring the weekend before last!

You dont put stuff in it as such, you put stuff underneath it. It should be elasticated, so it stretches over whatever you have in the boot and holds it firmly in place against the boot floor.

As Day said, it kept a couple of helmets, ruck sacks, first aid kit, camera equipment, bottles of water, warning triangle and a whole pile of other crap firmly in place in the boot at the ring a couple of weeks ago. Very useful.

Ahhh, the penny drops, told you I was dim! Now THAT is clever!
