Organizing Container for Cargo/Groceries

[Steverino]

Because we use our Volt as a primary car, naturally that involves shopping, etc. The cargo area therefore needed a cargo organizer way to keep things from sloshing around.

I found a collapsible, semi-rigid container at WalMart that is perfect for keeping up to four groceries bags (plus) in place. A restraining bungee cord slipped through some pocket slits in the container. The rubber mat helps keep it from sliding around as well. We like the way the top of the container slopes down to meet the hatch entry lip. The center space is perfect for storing Joe's grocery bags, the side areas for my wife's exercise weights, and the space in front of the container for a yoga mat.

I do wish the cargo area had an additional set of high and low attachment loops midway between the front and back of the cargo space, just forward the side fuse and cubby doors.

Nicely done. I suspect not many know of or use those lower hooks. I have the cargo net and it can go horizontal using the hooks.

Attached is the doc for the cargo net option and can be seen here to http://gm-volt.com/forum/showthread....Chevrolet-Volt.

I have the cargo net as well. I think it works well as a retraining cover to keep a pile of loose items held down to the cargo floor area. I also picked up another similar net from a small junked Buick when I got a spare tire and jack for my Volt. But the lack of more hook areas in the cargo area really hampers what I can do with the nets.
