vehicle. Remember to keep your valuables out of sight.

and lower hooks to the loops on either side of the

Once you've loaded items into the net, stretch the higher
side of the net up and over the top of the load to hold it
firmly in place.

100 lbs. (45 kg). It is not designed to hold larger, heavier
loads. Store such loads on the floor of your vehicle, as
far forward as you can.
When not in use, it is recommend that you take down
the rear convenience net to extend its life and retain its
elasticity, and to keep the rear exit clear. Store the net in
the pouch behind either front seat or inside the
convenience center.
