Is it just my luck or does the 04 TL comes with a cargo net, my wife was reading the manual she said I think we have a cargo net were the spare tire is because in the manual it does'nt list it as a option, so I went to check if it was true and sure enough their it was so if your sales person said that I will throw in a cargo net for free well it shoud be free.

 

Correct, comes standard! 2 of them, one for accross the back (multiple mounting postions, other for the side.

Not the easiest to figure out though, I think the large one is designed to fit flat on the floor, but I have mine seperating the rear of the trunk and front of the trunk (it is folded over to do this and items can be kept inside of it.

 

did anyone get some sort of manual on how to use them?
is it in the owners manual?
i tried to figure them out and didn't have much luck.

 

Owners manual has no pics of any worth (does have it in writing).

Figured them out on my own, even dealership asked to see how I installed them.

 

need4spd - Will you please take picture of how you installed the cargo nets and post for your Acura TL brethren???

I still can't figure the darn things out ... :-(

Thanks!

 

I will have to do it this weekend, otherwise my car is in the shop next week (10 or so issues to clear up)

 

Mine net came hidden on top of the spare tire.
I have the trunk plastic mat, so it's harder to install, because the black buttons are hidden underneath the mat.

It's like a puzzle, I like challenges!

 

Here are the photos, note on the 5th one, a pocket is formed on the side net, which could have been a tall net instead if I hooked it to the top stub.

Note, there is no right or wrong, this is just how I hooked them up, even the main net could be reversed where the low end is towards the opening instead of the seats. (note the large net is folded in half and forms a "V" to place things in and seperates front and rear portions of the trunk.

One other thing, if you are keeping a tool kit, or something else in the trunk all the time, use the plastic portion of the velcro and stick it to the object, it sticks VERY well to the carpet, and will NOT move!

Note pocket formed at top of side net (this is placed on drivers side so as not to store items on top of Navi controler)

Looking at Main net towards Passenger side

 

Thanks for the effort

 

Thanks for the pics! I totally missed the fact there is a place to hook the nets on the ceiling of the trunk!!!!

That's why I have "extra" hooks on my cargo net.

Hmmm. Let's try it again. I can do this....

 

What is under that cover on the right side of the trunK? I don't have one in my non-NAV car.

 

That's the navi unit. You flip the side part up and that's whee the dvd for the navigation goes.

 

Now.... How about some pictures with the cargo nets installed WITH the optional TRUNK MAT?!


Mike

 

With optional trunk mat , you have to slice button hole at each of the rounded indentations on the mat. It's nice because it keeps the mat in place. Note: Just slice once and then pull the button through like you would a shirt button.

 

Thanks, that's what I thought.

 

So that's how you do it! I was wondering...

Thanks for the pix, need4spd!

 

Nicely done with the pics. The cargo net set-up is more difficult to figure out than the sound system!

 

You are welcome everyone, agreed that it is more dificult than the sound system and navi!

Guess that engineering degree comes in handy sometimes

All my firends like when I am over for christmas to set up the toys!

 

.

Thank you very much. I was trying how to figure how to do it with my trunk tray.

 

I'm not sure, but I installed my side net a bit differently without the part on top. This triangular part I positioned vertically towards the front of the trunk to block a gap where the wheel well is.

 

Looks good, could be what they ment, like I said, it was one way of many to install it since the directions were a little lacking.

I use my pocket to store stuff, so what ever works for you.

GOOD JOB

Any other alternatives are welcome!

 

The instructions are really lacking. There weren't any I could find that gave any specific information.

I've since seen several different net set ups that differ to one degree or another. The first one posted here is interesting, but nothing like the dealer had set up for the big cargo net. It was near the trunk sill, rather than the middle of the compartment. However, I believe that Acura purposely made it to where you customize it to suit your needs, so to each their own.

 

Just bringing this to the top as I'm going to need it later tonight or tommorow morning.

 

Where are the GD pics?

C'mon mods. Were they lost when we migrated to a new server or what?

 

The admins aren't allowing photos to be posted within the thread anymore unless you're hosting them elsewhere. Makes sense, since it probably reduces the amount of traffic significantly.

 

How the heck does is mount? I have one long net with six hook points and one mini net with five hook points?

How are they suppose to be hooked in and/or positioned? Especially the mini one?

I've re-built wiring harnesses and re-assembled motors and yet, I can't figure this out.

 

do a search. someone posted pictures of how to do it.

 

Pheeww!!! Good! Glad I'm not the only one that had this issue. Next time I'll do a search.

And to think, it took me 4 days to swallow my pride and ask this question.

Hahahah!

:p

 

lol. don't be ashamed to ask a question. people ask questions about stuff all the time. everyone's here to help everyone else. the only thing is do a search because someone could have asked the question already.

 

So I guess since the gallery is not up, I can't see anything.

Would someone (if they have them) email the pics to me at... BlackSunshine@Acura-TL.com

I would appreciate it.

 

Hello, and welcome to the forum.

There are no stupid questions here, just other TL owners trying to help each other out, and enjoy their great sports sedans.

ahhh...i see what you mean. the pics are gone now that the site isn't hosting them anymore. your best bet would be to pm need4speed and ask him if he could send them to you.

 

I'll run out and take pics of mine...of course you'll get to see the junk I have in the trunk too
