what is the ceiling storage net called?

I will note that it could benefit from some "walls or guardrails" running the length of the front and back. I find myself with 4-5 coats in there and when I drop the windows it never fails to have a jacket sleeve drop down out of the attic a wave around in the wind. Seems like a no brainer design improvement - to me. love the product. anyone that climbs into my truck instantly wants to know what it is and where they can buy one.

Yes. That’s the request I was trying to describe above. I actually sent that suggestion to BROG. Maybe we should double up on that... I like how BROG is all in-house, and a small outfit. Good chance they’ll listen, I’ma thinkin.

I’m in with that suggestion. I actually only use it when camping and therefore stationary as I was frustrated with things sliding out. I haven’t yet spent any time trying to jury rig a solution. I do keep my Tilley hat up there by turning it upside down with the top dropped through the cross crossing cord. But nothing on top.
 
I'm considering the full ceiling size Raingler has. Hope it tightens well enough and doesn't sag.

Would love to see some pics once you got it installed. I am also considering the full ceiling size by Raingler :D
 
Got an e mail from a guy at Raingler. I was curious about the actual measurements of the full size. Couldn't seem to find them. Got a quick response. 31 x 61. He also sent me a link to a page I hadn't seen,"Universal nets by size."
Universal Ceiling Attic Storage Nets By Size

I am a little worried about the larger size sagging and obstructing view. That would be pretty irritating although I have a feeling most of us could jury rig a solution if Raingler hasn't already. A couple of pieces of cord across the right places would probably cure the problem.

How's the wear and tear on the headliner?
 
I just bought this Alimtois net off Amazon. It was the largest of the bunch and still barely fits across to attach to rear grab bars.

I installed the Raingler full ceiling attic net this weekend. 2021 model year. First impressions I am very happy with it and think it will help maximize space for road trips. The install directions are weak with no paper instructions not a video specific to the 200 series. No big surprise given the low volume nature of the vehicle. It wasn't too difficult to figure out on my own.

What are the attachment points behind the plastic? Did you have to drill?

Yes you need to drill two 5/32 pilot holes for each of the four attachment points. Not pictured, the net has straps that attach to each of the four grab handles as well which makes for a very solid install and good support in the middle of the net. The 4 attachment points that require trim removal are only for the front 2 and rear 2 attachments. Install took less than 2 hours taking my time.

Already answered, but I had the full length one in my 4Runner, which mounts the same. You drill behind the trim for footmen, with the strap attached. Here's the 4R install video:




I tried making the T4R net fit my 200, but things were just in the wrong places for the straps, causing a lot of sag, and overly tight spots. I bought the Kaon instead (which has pros and cons vs. the Raingler) and just sold my Raingler net today.
 
Here is a better picture of how it interacts with the handles. And today I tested it woth 40lbs of dry cleaning.
