Help with Cargo Nets

Which, if any, of the cargo net accessories have you tried. I'd appreciate a recommendation. Also, did anyone buy the collapsible shopping crate? Does it attach to anything?

Thanks.

Just the trunk floor net ($41) here. It's very useful both in securing items underneath and in keeping items on top of it from sliding; consider it a "mandatory" accessory. I'm having trouble visualizing the use of the other trunk nets from the pictures that M-BUSA provides in the "build your Mercedes" section of their site, but no doubt the other nets are also very useful.

The floor net that we added to the trunk has been exceptionally useful for securing just about anything.

I have the transverse "pouch" net. It is easy to attach and comes with all necessary hardware. I'm a little disappointed that it's only 9" tall, which limits its usefulness. It is handy for restraining small, relatively light items and small bags of groceries, however.

floor net here. Thats where the pizza goes, restaurant doggie bags, anything that would slop up the car or the trunk if it moved around. I have a whethertech rubber mat on my trunk floor under the net ...(not the trunk liner which would cover the hooks on the trunk floor.) Weathertech Universal Rubber Trunk Mat

I have the rear and one side net. My wife likes to use the rear hammock net for groceries.

Ok TPAbnz

Let me see whether my pictures can help in your decision making. I don't have the shopping crate but to have two nets. They work great in holding down lots of stuff.

I also have the one that goes across the front of the trunk. It keeps all of my groceries from ending up on the ground. I love it and can't imagine getting along without it!

Has anyone figured out how you can have the MB trunk liner and the nets? I love the protection the liner affords but want the nets too!

I have them both, I just put the liner on top of the nets. eventually the liner just settles on top. The storage space is about 3/4's but it still works great.
