HIGHLAND 95013 BLACK THREE-POCKET STORAGE NET

Highland 95013 Black Three-Pocket Storage Net

great quality, works great
i purchased this for my wifes 2008 toyota yaris. her trunk did not have hooks to install this net but with a little improvising i drilled a couple small holes into the inside of the trunk and screwed the hooks that come with the net into the trunk. she has been using her net for a year now and it works great for hauling groceries. the net is tall enough that things wont fall out of it while turning. i would recommend this to anyone looking for a good sturdy cargo net.

Very pleased!
The storage net works just fine in my 2010 Murano although it did take some modification of the mounting procedure.
As many others have noted, the stick-on attachment "knobs" might work on some surfaces but not on the textured plastic upholstery material used to line most cars and SUVs of today. And I certainly did not want to drill holes in the liner either.

I was able to use "S" hooks to connect to two existing eyelets and a combination of "S" hooks and tie-wraps to make the other two connections. The result turned out great . . . looks good and works perfectly.

The bottom of the installed net sits slightly raised from the flooring until something is placed in it. This makes the net easy to deal with when you have other things to carry that are not suited to a net . . . just lift the net slightly and slide the other item under it. Of course, you can always remove it by just disconnecting it at the "S" hooks.

I wouldn't recommend this product for folks that are not in a position to make adaptations as necessary for their particular vehicle but that applies to any accessory that is not specifically designed for it. In my case, I am very pleased with this product . . . even better than the nets that came standard on two other vehicles I have owned.

About a foot too wide for my car...
This cargo net seems to be as described. Instead of using the stick-on knobs provided (wasn't keen to stick things on the interior of new car), I used some carabiner clips to clip to the loops provided in my car's trunk. It was a bit too slack for my compact station wagon - I can imagine that it would be great for a wider car trunk or a pick-up truck. The bungee cords around the top of the net are sturdy, the net pockets are lightweight and are not anchored at the bottom, so items are meant to be suspended inside the pockets. For the price (about a third the price of the car manufacturer's accessory), I'm not complaining;I was able to make it work to do what I needed, which is to hold things secure when I open the hatch.

Bring your own adhesive
Be warned: the net part is fine -- but finding a way to hang it is another matter. Most cars don't have obvious places to drill holes for the metal screws -- leaving the adhesive the only way to affix the hangers. I followed directions for the adhesive TO THE LETTER, but the hangers never stayed stuck for more than a few hours. I finally resorted to a tube of adhesive from the hardware store.

Works well
This would have cost double from the OEM. I have a Nissan Murano and no such product is offered specifically for this model. Others by the manufacturer are a lot more expensive and probably wouldn't fit any better. My only gripe is that it should have come with "s" hooks. I'm not interested at all in the provided mounts that
require drilling into my vehicle or the essentially worthless stick-on mounts. I picked up a set of 4 "s" hooks for 99 cents at home depot. Works great.
