GL Rear Cargo Net?

I can't seem to find a rear cargo net for the rear of my GL450 to hold groceries. I see that MB has a rear floor cargo net, but that is not what I am looking for. Does any one know if MB makes a smaller cargo net that stretches across the rear of the cargo area to hold groceries upright?

I made the mistake of buying the cargo net. It is expensive and it is only capable of holding about one 12 oz can of soda in place. Sort of like putting a size 2 bikini on a 300 lb woman. I've been wondering if they sent me a net for a c class. I also have the collapsible crates and I highly recommend them.

Thanks for posting. I just bought a 2010 GL450 and am wondering if my current cargo net for my MDX will fit. What kind of volume does that collapsible crate hold?

You can fit two of them side by side with the third row up. They are stackable so they don't take up too much room when collapsed and they have rubber bumpers to keep them from rattling when stacked. I use three and that usually holds all of our groceries with the exception of the big stuff. Get four and you'll have all you need. They're relatively cheap too.

Save some cash and buy one of these. I have it in my GL and it fits perfect and works like a charm.

Whatever money you save, or what you can, donate to charity

There exists a net that covers most of the area exposed when rearmost seats are folded down--I suspect that's what 43221 is seeking.

I ordered mine from Europe, as at the time it hadn't made it to MBUSA.

Believe part number is B6 766 0097 and I think it may be now be available in USA.

"Net for loading sill" is B6 766 0111.

It's always most fun IMHO to search for accessories via the UK brochures: http://www2.mercedes-benz.co.uk/cont...s/gl-class.pdf
