2016 Sedan Cargo Net Help!

[djrobny]

Looking for some help with my cargo net. See attached picture.

I know there are four hooks, but if I attach them all, the net seems to just lie flat against the trunk floor. Then what? You are supposed to put items underneath the net? Doesn't seem too intuitive.

What I'm ideally looking for is what we have in our other car - a net that you can put items into, like grocery bags (also see below)

Thanks for the help!

That's how I use mine.. to trap things to the floor of the trunk.. lol.. maybe I've been doing it wrong!

That's how I use mine too, there is no other way around.

My wife's '14 Santa Fe has the net (2nd. picture) that she keeps all grocery in.

That's how it works. It actually does work well in practice - hook all four and then unhook one or two as needed, load your stuff and then stretch and hook it back. Be surprised how much you can keep from shifting - especially groceries in plastic bags.

For hanging grocery bags, there is a plastic anchor on the top of the trunk roof...feel for it and pull it down....and hang bags

I haven't found a way to make it useful in the way that your second picture shows. I personally find the cargo net pretty useless, unless you have larger non-squish-able items.

With the cargo net installed and small items trapped underneath it you make most of the cargo area useless, I would much prefer a way to keep small items from moving around by having an area where I can store those items without that particular net. I just came back from a trip to Costco - and the cargo net had to go before I loaded the trunk.

Not a good solution in my opinion.

When I got my car a month ago, I tried installing the cargo net as pictured in your second photo, not knowing it installs like the first pic.
When I realized how useless this would be to me, I packed it back into the mesh sack it came in and stored it in the house.
My '13 Sonata had the same cargo net as your second pic, and I found it quite helpful many times.
I actually bought a collapsible milk crate @ Costco that I can use for holding my groceries, and when not in use, collapse it to only 2" high. I am not pleased with this solution, and can't believe Hyundai gave us such a useless net.
I'll have to try to find those trunk hooks someone mentioned for hanging plastic bags.
Just went out to the car to check out those plastic bag hangers... they look pretty useful.

Exactly the same cargo net as in my '07 Audi S6 (and '00;'03 A6s before that). Those Audi's also had the same bag hangers (though it had 2 of them). I used the hangers more than the net, but the net was fine to make sure things stayed in place. I don't get the Costco comment about removing the net when loading in Costco purchasers. I kept the net in place and just put the Costco boxes on top of it. Overall the trunk is bigger than the A6 as well. The only thing I wish it had were some cubbyhole areas or small side nets.

These work great and can be put anywhere easily:

The Costco comment was with regards to small items being stored under the cargo net, then a lot of big items (8 cases of Pellegrino and Topo Chico) being loaded. The stuff under the cargo net had to be moved out of place to fit the boxes wit the water - they wouldn't fit over the dent that was created by the items underneath the cargo net (several reusable grocery bags, a cigarette lighter powered tire pump, and some other smaller items.

The bag hangers are useful, the cargo net is not done in a way that it works best for many use cases. I want the cargo net to hold small items so they don't roll around in the trunk while I drive. An alternative would be a small area to the left or right side of the trunk that makes a compartment for small items.

The Chrysler 300 I owned before the Hyundai had this solved better in my opinion, I used that cargo net for all the small stuff that is now creating a bump in the middle of the Genesis trunk:

First world problems really - it doesn't diminish what a great value the Genesis is ...

Good find - I'll see if I can get my hands on two of those, they would be useful. Should have been in the car from the factory!

Re storing the air pump - I found that if you put the "hook" half of stick-on velcro squares on the bottom of any flat bottomed item and place it in the trunk the velcro will hook up with the trunk liner carpet material and stay put. I used this for my pump and a storage box to contain the manuals so I can actually fix gloves in the glove box.

One of my favorite things about the car...so low tech but so highly functional.

Ditto ^... I also like the cargo net. You can slip a 12 pack under it and it stays right there
