A better option in my view is a trunk organizer, such as this example

 

Agreed. And as the hybrids don’t have storage space beneath the cargo area, it works well for storing some things while leaving enough space for groceries, etc. that might toss about otherwise.

I have this one and I’m quite satisfied with it . . .

Gen 5 is like this too.

 

If you still have the cargo nets from a previous Gen you could try using the child seat tie down points which are in the middle of the seat backs for the top point. You could also install your own cargo hooks like these. There are different styles available.

 

Thanks for all of the feedback. I'm nw looking at options that would add hooks where they ought to be to hold the envelope-style net. Just have to figure out exactly what's behind the panels so I don't screw into the wiring or something else important.

 

Your CRV, so of course your choice. But I would be very cautious here, as it is unlikely there are any anchor points that will hold up to a load under the influence of movement torque in the cargo bay. Too much plastic, and you would have to disassemble the plastic panels to try to find anchor points to the metal chassis.

One of the reasons I went with trunk organizer is precisely because even the stock anchor points are not going to hold up under all loading conditions.

Literally, the only place I ever use cargo nets anymore is in our sedans (Accord, Lexus ES) which do attach close to the trunk opening and will hold any loose items you do now want rolling around in the trunk. Even then, I would never use them for groceries or any heavy items. Instead I keep a folding cargo trunk organizer stored deep in the trunk for when needed.

 

I have an envelope cargo net from my previous subaru. For anchor points, I am using two short (1') black bungee cords hooked through the rear seat belt mounts. These mounts have an opening that does not interfere with seat belt operation. (The child seat tether anchors are too low and too close together; the headrest supports are too high and still too close together).

 

I bought a Jorindes cargo organizer for my 2024 EX-L. Initially I wanted an envelope net but found this far more useful. Only 38 bucks on Amazon.

 

We have this ⬆ ⬆ in ours- they work good.

➕ plus we have the retractable cargo covers.

 

Has anyone found a cargo net that suits the hybrid?
