Default V70 load nets

Hi, two load nets came with my car like triangle boxes (toblerone) with a net sliding out. One is about 30cm the other about 60cm long.

Can anyone tell me where they're meant to mount to and from as I'm puzzled , pics would help thanks very much in advance.

Nathan

Can take pics but there should be two metal tabs on the rear of the rear seats. The cartridges slide on to these (putting on would be from the inner of the car to the outer edge). The cartridges should match up in length with the rear seat splits.

Mount onto the steel brackets as clearly seen on left hand seat section:


When back seats flattened and in use look like this:

and they can also be used when the seat is in the up position . great for when we go camping and load the back up.

Although I would seriously consider the steel guard.



With the load net being designed to work in both the up and down seat positions, in the up position it will unravel if pushed against. Also I wouldn't trust the plastic clips to hold, or the bar not to bend in an emergency stop situation if anything heavy hit it.

Worth every penny in my eyes.

camping boxes go up against the rear seats and the net is used to hold coats, pillows ( she "needs" them) and the like as it can be popped up from the rear seat side as well. took me a few days to work out what they were for.
