Like many, the nets on my seatbacks were loose, and fell off easily whenever rear seat passengers bumped into them. The elastic strap attached to the hooks are just stretched out, and so they hang loose.

I had tried twisting the elastic straps to tighten them up, but that didn't really work, and the hooks didn't lay flat. After looking at them, I came up with a cheap easy fix that anyone can do.

Pop them off (really easy in the "loose" condition ), and then take a piece of rubber hose (I used 3/8" diameter, but you can use whatever size is needed to tighten them up sufficiently). Cut 8 pieces (4 for each seat) 3/4" long, and slip them under the elastic strap on the back side.


Reinstall them. Done! The hooks now hold the pieces tight against the seatback, and still allow some give.

 

Nice, simple solution. thanks!

 

Mine were so loose they would fall off going over bumps so I just threw them in a box somewhere now I have to go find them. Thanks for this, sometimes the easiest things are so hard to think of lol

 

Got my car from car ad and mine never had those. But my 3 year old is always kicking the seat anyways so no biggie but nice fix if I had them I would definitely do this.

 

Thanks Hawk. My daughter and a friend were the first to sit in the rear seats this weekend and knocked them off. I like fixes like those.

 

Genius! Thanks for sharing!

 

Great, simple solution to this problem. Had mine fixed in about 10 minutes. Appreciated the post!

 

Great solution....

What do we do when that fails?

 

Replace the elastic. Only thing I know left to do...

 

Right? I secured the "hooks" many years ago, never had a problem. Plus, I can put a lot more stuff in there and they still will not fall off.
