Keeping stuff from flying in the trunk?

[eyeye96]

What are you guys doing to make sure stuff doesn't fly around all over the place in the trunk? I just want to keep a quick detailer bottle and some micro fiber towels but there's no way to do that without everything flying around.

I really ish the car came with a cargo net as all BMWs do - I understand I could retrofit one but I don't want to drill anything into the car

I wanted to store the exact same thing. Detailer bottle and a couple of microfiber and all these nets and hooks seemed too excessive so I just opened the fuse box compartment on the right side of the trunk which has the tow hook and tire inflator and stuffed the microfiber and the detailer bottle in it. Fixed it in a position and done.

I purchased one of these organizers from Amazon. It's a perfect fit and I put the handles around the "bag hooks" on the side. Works really well, and the blue matches pretty well with the paint.

Made my own kit for about half price and agree on the front holes. The liner doesn’t flex much and it was even hard for me to get the bolts in there to mark the bolt holes. If done correctly, the holes made in the liner are hard to see even when the bolts are removed.

I still have a bunch of extra bolts/washers and anchor points and can make several more kits if anyone else doesn't want all the extras from the trap speed kit.

I tried to pick a smaller net so it wasn’t so loose

What size are the bolts? I've enquired about buying the cargo net/rings/bolts etc from my local Toyota dealer in the UK but they're very slow about providing price/availability etc.

I don't like the color red can you purchase in blue?

This is what I use. I have 2, one always setup and the other folded inside the first one in case I need more holding storage.

That looks nice! A parts list would be appreciated!

There is also another member who sells a more comprehensive kit for not too much more. I just didn't need everything else

Thank you! Yeah, I saw that option. Just won't have any use for anything but the net lol

How did you guys figure out where to drill the hole? Is it a matter of pulling up the lining? if so, how hard is that?

If you pull up the bottom shelf by wedging your hand under it from the back and pulling it upwards, it'll come right out. Once the bottom shelf is out, you can feel under the side walls for the 8mm tapped holes that are pre-drilled into the body. After you've located the tapped holes, mark the carpeted panel (which is actually the lower part of the side wall) with some tape and now you know where to drill your four holes. Its all relatively simple...just a little time consuming trying to get your drilled holes to line with the tapped holes. Before you drill through the carpeted panels, use plenty of tape at the drill location to help eliminate the carpet from getting torn up.

Here's a list of parts I used which worked really well for me:
D-Rings
8mm Screws
Net
Hooks

Pics for reference:

Rough location of 8mm tapped holes:

Finished product (sorry for the bright lighting):
