Will the MB "envelope" cargo net for the trunk sill area properly fit a 2008 E350 with standard rear seats?
I don't see any obvious attachment points in the rear trunk sill area for this vertically mounted net.
Does the "envelope" net come with attachment hardware to install in the trunk sill area?
I have 4 attachment points on the trunk floor, so the floor version of the cargo net should work fine.

Trey

Yes, the sill net will come with 2 hooks that will install in the upper sections near the taillights and the bottom of the net hooks to the existing floor anchors.

That's good news.
Thanks Trey

Have you got a part number or pic of this net as I have wondered about it since about 11/2003.

Barry,
At mercedespartspeople.com, they show the part # for the rear envelope cargo net as 6-7-66-0070, but they are unable to confirm whether it comes with hardware to attach it to the rear trunk sill area. I will call an MB dealer parts shop tomorrow and ask them to eyeball what's in the package.

If you go to their site and enter your 07 E550 to start the search, their descriptions of the cargo nets for your car are different than for my 08 E350, and there appears to be an error there regarding the above part number. So, I had them check the part number at the MB parts/accessories site and they confirmed that it's described by MB as the envelope cargo net, and it's supposed to fit both of our cars.

I'll post a follow-up here when I learn what is included in the pkg.

You'll get the net, the hardware mentioned above and the instruction book. I just got mine from parts.com a few weeks ago. They use a third party Mercedes dealer on the east coast somewhere (can't remember) and it comes directly from the dealer in original Mercedes packaging.

Be sure and cross-shop between multiple sites - different parts are lower prices from each. On parts.com I do an OEM part # search and get 25-50% better prices than through their accessory catalog.

Barry,
I checked with a dealer who has the rear sill cargo net in stock, and they eyeballed the pkg and confirmed the contents are exactly as described above by Trey.
I've ordered a floor and sill set with parts.com, using the oem part# method, per Trey's suggestion, which resulted in an even better price.

Thanks much Trey!

Trey

Happy to hear it worked out for you.

One thing about the OEM part search - some parts you have to leave off the first character when searching in parts.com. If a part starts with B for instance, leave that off and search using the remaining digits only. And no spaces.

Anything you can get from the Mercedes dealer parts counter you can get this way at parts.com, usually at a substantial savings.

There has been a couple of times that mercedespartspeople.com has been a little cheaper, but I have yet to order anything from them,

Received and installed (5 minutes) the floor and sill cargo nets today; perfect fit.
Thanks much Trey!
