Mine did not brake just the net came off from the anchor. It was the smaller net for the windshield washer fluid.

Mine are fine... and it's like a $20 bag of clips. Might as well just stop by the parts department one day and pick them up, no need to go through the whole service thing...

The one that held my windshield washer fluid broke a few months ago, but I won't really worry about that. That particular part is not made very well anyway, as the dimensions are just way too tight to hold a jug, causing a lot of strain on the anchors and clips.

My cargo net is still good as new.

Mine broke, the button clips pull out, but it's no big deal I always found the cargo net to be more of a hinderance than help. I never used the one in my 05 either.

How the hell do you guys break them? what are you hauling in that thing? I find it so small... even smaller than the one I had in the coupe...

Heck it's no problem Dan . We just try putting a few bags of groceries in the net and that plastic anchor just moans under pressure and out she comes. It happened to both cars and seriously the net was not overloaded.
Real easy .

I agree and took mine out. Got a plastic box with a hinged lid that I use to store stuff I keep in the car (tools, flashlight, etc.). Much cleaner and easier to get to.

One of the anchors (in the big cargo net - the U.S. version doesn't have the smaller net) has popped out twice, and I just push it back in. I used to use the cargo net more often in the past for groceries and stuff, but not lately. I'm thinking of just removing it since it's harder to get large items like luggage in and out.

Anyone who has purchased new ones - do you have the part number? I can't find it and am being too lazy to drive down to the dealer since it just moved 20 miles away.
