cargo nets - should I go with 2 small side nets or one big net across cargo area

Post by craigernd »

after a few days of getting a feel for new base vibe, I think I am going to get myself 2 small side nets but I'd appreciate some feedback as to how others contain their cargo in the back

I have the cargo organizer and seatback storage in back and I am very happy with them. They came with my car.

I got the 2-net set pontiac sells. I really like it.the large one runs across the back of the car near the gate, making it very easy to load groceries and other 'quick in-and-out' items.the small one on the size is great for the small fry i need to keep handy.the nets hook/unhook easily so it only takes a second to change configuration.i've also ordered the seat back storage to keep the road atlas and other scuzzies i like to keep handyit's nice not to have all that stuff just sliding around on the floor of the car anymore (like in my old little ford aspire)hope this helpsps: i would have like the cargo net set to have 2 side nets... but oh well good luck with configuring your cargo baysylvain

I would rather have the two side ones. I got the package that came with the car. one side and the one that goes across....

Get all of them and stick the extra ones under the deck of your cargo bay. I have the 1 side and 1 across. I use the across configuration the most. it will fit in the back along the rear hatch and also along the back of the second row of seats. it really keeps things from sliding around. I would als recommend some sort of covering for the cargo deck...

actually, i wish the set had come with two small nets along with the large one. that way i'd have both sides to store trip scuzzies in when i need to i also got a 'cargo organizer' from case logic (soft sided). It folds flat to almost nothing when not needed and holds quite a bit of stuff when open. got it at ebags.com (great luggage/bags web store btw).sylvain

I have the net set but end up using a simple 2 foot long bungie cord on one side the most.

My vibe came with the cargo net package and I really like it...great for keeping eggs and fragile items from sliding around the back too much. I've used the net that extends across the whole back...I haven't quite gotten around to using the side one yet...but I'm sure it's just a matter of time once I start finding things to put in my car.

i have the net set, 2 small ones for the sides and a long one for across. came with my vibe but i really dont use them. if you are interested in them, let me know cause i'd sell them for pretty cheap. probably like $20 with shipping. they are a perfect fit but have been in my garage for some time now. which means i have to find them. lol. but i'm going thru all my things and car parts today.
