First I thought the floor net would better fit my needs but the more I thought about it, things tend to roll backwards & slam against the hatch more than sway. Plus a lot of time I get lazy & don't even put a floor net over something when it's available (in my other cars).
I can see the load sill being up all the time & I just drop things in the trunk & go.

I'd like to mention that if your wife (or husband) shops for groceries in your Mercedes, the Mercedes Collapsible Shopping Crates are the cat's meow. At $16 - $20 they are a real bargain.
When the wife (or husband) has groceries loaded in those sloppy, slippery plastic bags and dumps them in the trunk, all hell breaks loose on the drive home.
The crates are the real solution. They store flat in the garage, and open up easily for use. Three of them fit perfectly across the back of an E class sedan trunk, and moving the middle one forward half way creates a fourth captive area for groceries. In all, no more bottles of red wine scattering across the trunk floor and banging around, etc., etc., etc.
If I have a criticism, it's that the ends should snap in place a little more firmly when the crate is opened up, but once you know that, it's no big deal, and it's no problem if the crate is loaded anyway.

check out this site and they have a lot other parts/accessories. but i don't think it's a good deal if you just buy a crate online. $20 at the dealer and ask for a slight discount nicely. they could give you tax-free or 10-20%. better than get in online for $4 less but pay for the shipping. anyhow, here is the link: http://www.parts.com/accessories/index.cfm

What are the dimensions of the MB crate? The Container store ones are $19 and are 20-1/2" x 14" x 10-1/2" h. I bought a bunch and they are SO useful...

The MBZ crates fit precisely three across the interior of a 2011 E class trunk.
