Just got an LTZ and I know it comes standrad with cargo nets. I have 2 small nets that run up the sides. Should there be a big one that runs across the whole trunk?

Ours only had side nets.

Thanks Lee! I thought it was a bit odd, but it is obviously what they have as standard.

There actually should be a long back one along the rear inside panel of the trunk, and then the 2 small side nets. Our 2LT is missing one of the side ones, but has the other 2, and my G6 has all 3.

Seems dealers lose them from time to time in moving cars around and their prep.

My '07 Malibu has one.

I cannibalized it off the Saturn before we donated it. :D

Huh. I guess my dealer lost the long one too then. My LTZ has the side nets though.

I unpacked mine from sealed plastic bags, but I guess there is a chance that the bag with the long net was not thrown into the trunk.
This will be interesting to see who has the back net and who does not.

I do not have a long back net; I did ask for one, but was told there wasn't one.

I stopped at the dealer today to check a 09 LTZ and found only two side nets.
When I got home I tried a side net across the back and it would not reach.

I'm with you, Lee. Two side nets only.

One is empty and the other holds the wife's reuseable grocery bags. She hasn't complained about not having a full width net. Our Caddy had one, so I guess she would have mentioned it by now.

If I had a choice I would go with the side nets over a back net. Sometimes the back nets are too close to the trunk opening.

Yeah, it is basically tight against the short back wall at the bottom of the trunk opening, but we've used it--holds thinner things in place back there.

I still wonder where our one side net went, but oh well, never use those anyway. My G6 has all 3, and I do have little things in the side (fire extinguisher in one, jumper cables in other).

Hey, I have a "bunch" of nets in my trunk, I haven't got a round to playing with them yet. Can anyone post a pic of the inside of their trunk with their nets in? I am curious now to understand how they all install?

Thanks

Our 2006 has only the 2 small side ones. They don't hold very well. Just a small canister of R-134a (I'm certified to have it) makes the net pop off.

Okay, well then. Weird. I swear, we have a left side mat and a long one along the back...it certainly doesn't seem to be stretched to the extent that it's in the wrong place (a-la the MIA right one), but I'll have to triple check again.

Then again, my G6 does have the same side nets and the identical rear of trunk one, so I think not. Bizarre net happenings;)

I think someone on the Malibu line likes to switch things up occasionally just to keep folks guessing. I'm pretty sure our 2004 had the rear net (only).

WOW - Amazing how many different combinations for the 08-09's there are....LOL.....I think I may tackle this project tonight and see what combination I can come up with.

Okay, I was crazy. I swore my G6 had 3, but after getting it back from a service visit, I looked again (I'm not often in the trunk with stuff) and yep, I only have the 2 side ones.

Then shot down in what I had thought before, tried the Malibu and it did look like the one along the back was a little "odd" so I took it off and reconnected it to the side with one missing.

Hah...so, yes, 2 side nets is the deal I now believe;)

Set mine up on the weekend, I concur only two side nets, however I "pinched" my long one from my old GP and hooked it up, isn't the best, but will certainly help in the winter with storing the snow brush and other long winter misc items.

The side nets I can see being quite handy though, especially in the winter for us here in Canada where windshield washer fluid is a premium! I can probably fit two jugs easy on one side.

Cheers!

Mystery solved :D

Does anyone know the part numbers for the side nets? I am hoping to store some washer fluid, an air compressor, and an ice scraper/brush in my trunk but I do not want them rolling and jerking all over the place.

I got the LS, so I do not have the nets >.> I do have the little knobs that I am almost 100% sure are used for securing the nets, however.

Is there a larger center net available for the G6 or the Malibu? My ice scraper/brush is very long, save a half foot short of the entire width of the trunk.

The official accessories site that lists part numbers:

http://www.gmaccessorieszone.com/

Looks like they list a net that's "envelope style" for the back, at least. Still looking for the side net numbers (may be printed on a tag, if there is one, on the nets).

I am more or less interested in the side nets, though the center net would be a great option. It is porous...and I would be storing wet objects (ice scraper) and I would rather have a fully-covered sack.

Just put in the "envelope style" cargo net from the GM accessory catalog. It's nice to have the 2 sides nets and the 1 long net in the center for storage.
