no problem. :p

So how / where do you get these cargo nets for the Coupe ?

I ordered them from the MB Collection catalog, most MB dealers probably have them in stock or they can order them for you.

The larger floor net is $33.00 part #B67660065.

The smaller front net is $31.00 part #B67660064.

However, the above items cannot be found on the site.

FYI -- I picked up the cargo net for my C240 and it turns out those little metal hooks on the trunk floor aren't put in if you don't get C3 (split rear seat), which I didn't. I've hooked the two clips at the bottom edge of the net into the slits in the floor cover where the hooks would come through if they were there. So far, no problems. I asked about having the hooks put in (as mentioned in the instructions), but the parts people didn't know anything about it.

If I had a dollar for every time I have had to teach a dealership parts person to read his parts catalog, I'd have several dollars.

Really? I have the C3 package... It was a concession to myself for going from all my past hatchbacks (with fold-down seats) to the sedan.

I thought all the sedans had the D-Rings that popped through the slits in the cargo floor. Well, people can poke fun at the ski sack, but I'll retort with the D-Rings in future. Thanks, MarkL, I feel better about my C3 purchase, now.

MB-BOB, I'll tell you why I didn't get C3 -- although it's probably stupid. I had split folding seats on my Passat and used them once in a while. But, on occasion, I heard a slight rattle that I thought was related to the seats, plus there's that very small gap which might let more sound through from the trunk. I figured I was getting A MERCEDES! and I wanted it to be as quiet as possible. I thought I wouldn't miss the folding seats very often. Well, then there's the fact that I added the Xenons after my initial order and I was already restraining myself from adding C1... the $$ signs were mounting! BTW, there was a post some time back that mentioned that folding seats in the BMW 3-series reduced torsional strength in the rear by a significant amount. Oh well, like I said, I probably should have gotten it...

Let me set this straight: we ccoupe people don't need any extra hardware to add these cargo nets, right? I was thinking that the smaller one would be good for tennis *****, funnel for oil, extra quart, etc.

TIA!

you just need to remove the top filler plugs and screw in the hooks (comes with the front net), really easy, takes 5 minutes most.

tommy

Thanks for the info. I'll allow for 6, as I'm all thumbs.

I just got the net. Do you just pry out the filler plugs with a screwdriver or something? The instructions aren't very helpful, and I don't want to break anything. TIA!

tommy

Yes. Those instructions really suk, don't they? Remind me of Ikea furniture intructions - helpful in 20 languages, clear in none.

Use a flathead wrapped in a towel or something. It helped to push in the area around the plug a little. Also, screwing in the t fittings took a little more pushing into the hole that I thought it would.

SFVideoGuy

Thanks Tommy! Will do.

I wouldn't use the cargo net to hold the groceries bags. The nets are mean for light items only.

Probably go for the trunk divider. When I go to the market, it won't be a problem if I fill the trunk up. Otherwise I put them behind the front seats on the floor.
