tr7driver Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I was wondering if anyone has installed an aftermarket cargo net in the trunk of their car. I'm not up to paying $45 for the Ford net and am looking as some others. Anyone install one that fits nicely? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jim Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I have the Ford one. Don't expect an aftermarket one to fit any better. Even the Ford one is a pain to install. Ford didn't make it easy to cut the trunk liner for access to the studs that the anchors attach to. Even after cutting the liner, the liner needs to be pushed back somewhat un-naturally to screw the anchors into place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhagen05 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I agree with Big Jim. The price for the Ford is pretty high, but you'll almost be better off with the Ford one. As Big Jim said they did not design it well. What I had to do was cut a hole in the liner and fish the loops through the hole that I had cut to the hooks behind the liner. Other wise it would cause the liner to look all deformed. You do get the hooks when you order the trunk net. If you can find an after market one that works great then that is good news, but the only thing you'll probably have an issue with is just getting it hooked up to the studs behind the liner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chingon Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Can someone please post pics of these studs/mounting locations? I have an old cargo net from my Taurus, and would like to see if I could retrofit it to my Fusion... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tr7driver Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 Chingon, I found a Video here that should help you. You will probably need to find hooks to work with the Tarus net. I may go the same route with a generic net. I have a Milan and I do have a couple of studs on the sides of the trunk under the opening lip, so I think I can put top hooks there. I don't know if the Fusion is made the same way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
