Hey all, not on here all that much but I do have a new question concerning my 2014 SL, just turned 30k miles, and what you all are using to secure things in your trunk. Mine did not come with anything and I have done a few searches for MB accessories but have run into dead ends. Doesn't need to be factory MB piece, aftermarket would probably be 80% cheaper! The smaller items seem to roll around back there.
It almost looks like the factory provided 2 "hooks" near/on the top deck that would provide some kind of attachment points for a stretch net / cargo product which would hang down on the rear wall of the truck cavity. See pics. The net mesh stretch bag I'm thinking of would lay flat when empty and should allow movement of that partition even when loaded with small items.
It also looks like the factory provided 4 small mounting hooks on the floor - 2 on each side, again for some kind of netting style storage. Again, see pics.
I did find a universal product on Amazon that would work on at the rear location. Black stretch style cargo net pocket like with an opening at the top.
What you all have?
2 factory clips at the top portion just below the window - hidden when the movable partition is in the up position
The area below those 2 upper clips. Thinking that the cargo / stretch mesh bag would hang down here. Should not interfere with the movable partition
Well, I'm another one who had no idea there was a retractable screen on the bottom of the trunk partition! LoL! Is its purpose to prevent stuff stored in the trunk from protruding up beyond the partition in the back area?
But, I also have a 2014 SL550 and would like to know where to get a "tie down net" for my trunk, like the OP is looking for. Anybody have an idea where we can get one?
2015 SL400 (M276 Turbo), 2014 C350 Sport (M276 NA), 2004 SL500 (M113), 2004 Audi TT225 (BEA)

Take measurements of the area between the clips on each side of the trunk and search for one on Amazon.

Did that yesterday and found a couple of generic black stretch net bags that would lay flat against the rear vertical portion of the truck cavity. May have to order them.

I ordered one from EBay Motors and it was a perfect fit.

Ha Ha Ha, I've owned this car for 5+ years and never knew that this was attached to the bottom side of the partition! How embarrassing!
