Don't get the MB OEM C-Class side nets. Picture a pair of briefs w/ attachment elastics (yep, the net doesn't stretch out so it's rectangular...just maintains its trapezoidal shape).

Big thumbs down

no it didn't

My brother paid $40 for this MB accessory. That's why I thought I'd warn folks about it

He's not referring to the front passenger net, Jim...

He's referring to the optional cargo side net that you can get for the rear cargo area.

The 4matic C-classes do not get the front passenger footwell net due to the transfer case hump. However I'll be adding one anyway.

?? My 2002 C320 wagon (w/o 4matic) came with front passenger footwell and cargo side nets. OTOH, the $30 I spent for the full-floor net was worth every penny.

this was a C240

Maybe the salesman threw in the side nets for you?

The rear cargo net works well, but it blocks most of the low liftover area on a sedan (no such problem w/ your wagon of course

Rear Cargo Net

I agree with the side nets. Looked at them and decided to get the floor cargo net instead. It is very nice. However, I wish the plastic end clips had some kind of latch on them. If you put anything big under the net the clips slip off the tie down rings. Overall, I am happy with the floor cargo net and it is worth the money.

I would be surprised if he threw in anything without making a point of it but who knows? I assumed they were standard.

Yes, they are standard...

The side nets are standard equipment on the wagon and those are indeed useful. [
