Any cargo net solutions out there for our trunk?

I have an emergency bag I keep in the trunk of my cars with sockets/ratchet, screwdriver, jumper cables, duct tape, FRS radio, etc etc. It nested really well in my last trunk. Not so much this one. I don't want it sliding ripping up my trunk wiring. Before I cheap out and just run velcro on the inside of the clam between the taillamps and on the side of the bag, anyone know where i can find a cargo net that'd snap/affix to the trunk lining to keep this thing under control?

Thanks!

I put a cargo net in mine. Worked well. It was a stretch thing with an attachment button at each corner and went across the wall next to the engine in the boot.

I used to carry an emergency kit like yours but don't really see the need any more. Cars (including ours) are very unlikely to break down. AAA is the best solution in my opinion (the card is much lighter than the kit as well). I have the Sector 111 Booty and think its great.

I didn't want to block the most useable part of the trunk, strung bungee cord across tailight bolts, put anti-skid material on floor. I put parts, tools, etc. in 3 separate softbags and hung them on bungee cord.

Now, I even fit the top over the bags and still have a good deal of trunk space avail.

I saw something on eBay a while back that was supposed to be an original Lotus part. It cost $150 and stretched along the wall on the engine side of the trunk.

I agree. They are also selling the slide out cup holder for $150, plus shipping.
