Default I need cargo holders for the trunk

In my other car I had a Gorilla mat with those plastic L shaped pieces that stuck to the mat with a teeth type grip. They would hold my groceries or whatever I put in the trunk in place.

With the A4, my stuff flys all over the place. What's a good, inexpensive way to secure cargo in the trunk? Thanks

For your groceries, don't you have the pull down luggage hooks?

Default There are square hook holders that are on the trunk floor.....

I think they are used for the cargo net or other lines (bungee) with hooks that you can use.

Default I was looking at that net....

It's on sale for $38. I think that will be a good addition to the trunk. I'm getting tired of fetching my grocries from the back of the trunk that escape from the bags.

I am supposed to go to the dealership on Saturday for them to fix the paint stain. Maybe I'll ask my salesman for one.

Default I see them!

They might actually work for plastic grocery bags. I didn't even know the hooks were there. They are plastic, so I don't know what kind of load they can handle. I mean if I hook 2 to 4 plastic grocery bags to each one.

Dumb question.....but what kind of luggage would you hook onto them?

Default I have loaded a lot of plastic bags on the hook, just don't put bags w milk or soda

Usually the bags are not suspended in the air, so no weight is being pulled on the hooks. It just helps them from sliding around.

Good price, get the net. That with the hooks should be all you need.

yeah, I was quite surprised when I came across them too.

They do work well to support shoppings bags.
