I used to think they were worthless, but now with my new job and having to carry around stuff/paperwork, I would really like to get one. I often have 4 people in my car so the whole passenger/rear seat office trick isnt going to work anymore

However the fun twisty road to work does not seem to see eye to eye with my binders/etc that I keep in my trunk

Anyone have one/know where to get one?

 

I don't believe we have hooks to hook one up

I'd love to get a cargo net too, and I've seen them (made by Bell... the helmet company?) locally for about $10 US but as said I wouldn't know where to mount them, and the sticky pads they supply wouldn't work too great either....

 

locally for $10 US

just thought that was funny lol

hmm. I know the 5th gen had some mounts in the trunk. I dunno, I suppose I'll take a look at the trunk and see what we can do. I remember wanting one a while ago with my black car, I was always affraid to put stuff in the trunk because of the subs I had

Cananadaland = fun btw

 

I've seen a trunk net on other cars, and its basically hung in place by two hooks, so maybe you can purchase two hooks with the screw base, drill two small holes right above the lights and have your nets up

 

The hooks to hook the netting onto are screwed in. You can buy the individual peices, drill holes for the screws, and viola. Just make sure you mount them in similar places as a 5th gen

 

Hey, just thought I'd make it easy for you - we don't want that hamster to fall off the wheel in your head now!

Smiley of the day? LOL

 

why dont you just get a box and put that in the trunk, and you could put the binders and stuff in a box. or you could just do what everyone else said. i carry a box that had reams of paper in it for my tools and what not, including papers and what not. just seemed easier to carry into the apartment that way.

or just fedex the binders where ever you are going next. i mean they are quick with delivery..... not really, i cant back that up.

 

I was curious about the actual mounting locations too.
Maybe a bit of trivia but I remember that there was a photo in the 89 max brochure
of the standard net and offered a good view of the mounting locations.

 

get a GM net, just about every one of their new cars has a trunk net

 

I have two nets somewhere and the hooks (somewhere). I kept the net from my first Maxima and there was one on my current car. When I mounted my amp, I took out the net and the hooks. That was almost two years ago, so it might take me a while to find anything.

 

I have several brochures and have never seen a trunk net offered. I just looked through my brochures to make sure - 1989 US, 1992 US, 1994 US and two UK ones but no mention of that option or pictures of it in any of them. They do have the sweet luggage rack which is maybe what you're thinking of.

I know Jason F (OG maxima.org guy with 90SE) put a 4th gen net in his car and just screwed into the trunk lining and that worked fine for him. This was back in 98 or 99 I think.

 

I have had two 92 SEs and both came with Nissan cargo nets. My first was only a couple years old when I bought it, so I am sure it wasn't from a 4th gen. My brother bought my red car and it was 100 percent stock (except for the pinstripes) and it had a cargo net, too.

Crap, now I am going to have to wade through the snow to the garage and find them...

 

weird, I wonder if it's a general Nissan accessory that isn't specific for one car and maybe works for Maxima, Sentra, Altima, etc and so that's why it wasn't in my brochures

either way, go find it now you lazy bastard

 

Just a thought...

Try to buy one from pep boy's. They're real cheap. I did mine w/the tail light mounting points. I simply unbolted it than inserted the hook-ups. It takes a beating and keeps on tickin. Also, try to clean off the mounting surface w/acetone. I makes the adapters fit better.

Good luck all,

Matt

 

I found three hooks and one of the nets. I think the other net is packed away in a box somewhere and I have no idea where the fourth hook is. My garage is a mess. The hooks have a part number on the back of them. If someone is dying to have the PN, then send me a PM.

This is what the hook looks like and a corner of the net:

 

Very interesting... I wonder if there are factory mounting points somewhere for that, or if there have to be holes drilled. Can you remember how they attached through the felt lining or where?

Why not post up the PN.... you never know if it might be useful someday.

 

there is a spot (actually four, duh) that they screw right into. I know for sure because both of my Maximas had them. I don't know where that is now because I took out all of the interior panels to my trunk except the carpet and the panel behind the seat. Tomorrow I will grab one of the hooks and post the part number if I can remember.

 

Hey guys check this out:

I know the description and the label says 2000 and up, but if I didn't know any better, I'd swear that the car in the picture is a 3rd gen...

Maybe Nissan did have an optional trunk net, and maybe they never updated the picture for the nets (hence the 3rd gen on the pic).

 

that's definately a 3rd gen on the tag, but that doesn't mean that the net is designed for a 3rd gen.

 

Trunk net =
but i am sure you can use an Altima Net or Maxima net

 

Looking at some old pics and had this one from when I installed my amp. Notice the cargo net is still attached.

 

 

Wow that net is a lot bigger than I was expecting.... you could probably catch a pretty big haul of fish in that baby.

 

I thought it would mount further back toward where the wheelwells end.

why not get something that goes behind the seat...like a pocket type thingy. you can shove all your paperwork in them.

 

I wish I had that little
plus I keep tools in my car, a box on the floor in the back seat used to work great, but now that i keep them in my trunk they like to slide around all over the place and such


good idea though, I dont know why our cars didnt come with them stock. Then again I have a feeling if it did i would find wrappers and crap in them lol.

 

Isn't that what ash trays are for?

 

hahahaha probably. I forgot our car has those in the back lol.

 

Mine might be a little bit stretched out. My brother and I both play basketball and until I put in the stereo (sub and amp) I usually had a basketball and some shoes in there.

 

theres a basketball in the maxima. I noticed it under the durango a week ago. Probably the neighbors, but now I've claimed it as mine
