As the title suggests,how do you use the luggage straps behind the front seat? I can't figure this out for the life of me.

They lift up and pull out then fasten to the clips near the floor like seat belts. With the MB shelf bag there are slots to put the belts through to hold the bag in place. Don't think they will work very well with any other type bag.

D'oh! It is very obvious now that I have followed instructions and did it.
I thought my overnight duffle was going to work sweet back there. What I was thinking, using a non mercedes item.
Thanks

I think I'll stick with the straps, for fast reversibility's sake, but I'm having second thoughts about the sturdiness of it all (oh, and love your grills under the rear seat, home-made ? Any effect apart from the added awesomeness ? No passenger-burning ?)
