I think what ever you are trying to tie down, just hook that net accordingly.

I got rid of mine & installed a Ford/Harley edition rubber bed mat. Cut down precisely to fit, I never tie anything down, that rubber mat is awesome, nothing slides at all.

Vinny- Thank You, best thing I did for hauling stuff & it staying in place, plus the Harley Logo embossed in it helps at the shows.. .

Simple, I just lift the rubber up, flip the end over on itself, & then lift the floor.. It is not glued down or anything, I just made an extremely snug fitting template before I cut the Truck bed mat. As for the storage bins up front I just lift them w/mat & do what I need to do.. The thing that was a surprise was the floor is not the same on both sides & centering the logo on the mat took a lil measuring so my template was spot on centerline.

Cat Man- here is one of my posts about it:

Here's another, you talk about the cargo area not being symmetrical.

The Gas Tank side is closer to center.. I pulled a string from the front center, to the hatch latch center, & made my patterns from this.

fwiw: the full size HD bed mat weighed 50 lbs.

Cut and fitted for my HHR Panel size is 26.5 lbs

OE Panel 2 piece mats total weight was 16 lbs.

So actual weight increase is only......... 10.5 lbs

Non-Skid + Cool Factor = Priceless IMO...

I bit the bullet and ordered the Weathertech mat for the back.It works but was expensive. I wish I would of seen yours beforehand as I would have got something a little thicker and heavier.Of course my seats are up most of the time.Great job with the install!!

Or the $35 recycled materials mat from Lowes. Cut to fit. It does keep things from sliding around too much. The WeatherTechs and Husky Liners are pretty slick and let things slide around.
Disclaimer. I DO have Husky liner fronts and cargo mats. The cargo one with it's raised edges is there to catch any spills. (none yet in 9 years) It sits on top of the big recycled mat.

I have a Huskie liner in the back and a set of Weather Techs front and rear foot wells.
I’m to anal to put larger , spill hazard bottles or laundry soap containers back there to find out how much liquid it would hold.
but is is great for loads of other things , like containing water and dirt off landscaping soil bags , my MIL’s insistence on smuggling food into the back seat!

Thank You... Weathertech makes nice liners. I got my Harley Bed mat off eBay, no one else bid on it, maybe cause it was for Ford F-250, it was NOS & I got it for under $40. & free shipping..

But lots of options out there..
