[QUOTE="TheMaestro, post: 266247, member: 8533"] Chitownbasser was the first mod I saw here that incorporated cargo netting as added storage on the seat 'bulkheads'. I decided to use that idea and I ran into the same problem he did, and im sure others too....Most cargo nets come in one size...TOO BIG. Smallest most common size I found at Lowes, Canadian Tire, HomenDepot and Walmart was 48" x24"... So after visiting all these places, I bought one with the idea of modifying it to give me 2 usable cargo nets. When I got it home, I saw that its basically a net with a bungee cord as its frame, and four hooks to hook it in your cars trunk. I removed the clips and cut the net and bungee in half giving me two 24x24 pieces.I then un-weved the bungee cord out of the net and re-weaved in to make the new frame and 12x24, which is the size I needed. I tied the bungee ends in a knot, cut the excess netting carefully and then used a small butane torch to seal each frayed cut of netting. This took about an hour as it is tedious and requires some planning and manipulation of the net. I then attached the cargo nets using insulated (rubber coated) electricians staples that I hammered in. Finally, I used some 3M outdoor clothtape I had to create a smooth edge where I cut and heated the netting.
