Easy Seat Back Netting Fix
Spent about 30 minutes the other night and with 4 small holes and 4 small black zip ties I fixed those silly seat back nets from falling off everytime someone gets in the back seat. And by using black zipties they are practically invisible. Now those cheaply made things are finally usefull enough to put small stuff in like a small roll of paper towels, folded up sunshade, etc. I know it's a small victory but it's something.

even easier....
the rubber band cord dealio gets stretched out over time that it doesnt snap back and hold it snug against the chair. I took 4 strips of paper about 1" wide about 4 inches long and rolled them each up, then folded it. I put them each between the clips and the frame of the netting. You cant see the paper and the back seat netting things are in place, nice and snug. I can remove them as well in case I find the elusive packback to put behind there.

We too have had trouble with them as I said. Decide to fix em.
Couple hours and sewing thread/needle and there fixed.
Pull the excess elastic cord up through the plastic clip and stitch tight.
Also the screen mesh ripped out of the edge of plastic frame. We super gel glued it all around perimeter. Then black paint and small model paint brush.
Excellent design cheaply executed. I bet the same guy who developed the ignition switch did the seat backs or at least a team member. Lol!

I used small (1/2" long) black oxide screws that I found in the garage. Drilled a pilot hole next to the clip and inserted the screw. Now the clips dont move at all and nets stay in place. Some black paint and an artist brush should obscure the screw heads.
