Trunk Organizer *-*Duluth Trading Company
Trunk Organizer has 3 large, removable storage cubes that you take into the store.

Personaly I just use the new reusable cloth bags for grocieries because I need to carry large sample cases in the car regularly, many that require the pasenger seat folded down so I need to not be encumbered by extra stuff. Anything that can fold flat works best for me.

With proper loading of the cloth bags I don't have a problem. On the divers side you put the bags with fluffy and large stiff stuff like Boxes and Chips. They won't fall in the gap. On the pasenger side where the Gap is smaller I put the bags with cans.

One of the best things that we have purchased for BJ has been this organizer. It prevents anything from falling behind the seats, and is flexible so that it can handle all different sizes of cargo.

Oooh OOhh

I have a new Answer

Just use the Carpet in the back to your advantage and Sew some Velcro to the bottom of your cloth reusable Grocery Bags.

Simple and clean Solution.

U Haul-of all places-has a wonderful adjustable storage unit that looks like it was custom made for the back. If you have one bag, no problem, if you have a whole bunch, no problem. If you don't need it, it folds flat and lays on the floor. Cost $45. It's great!

There's always the cargo net set.

That will be my next purchase... I'm a cargo net fan - I have had them in all of my vehicles.

DIY can be nice - I dunno - when it comes to accessories like this, I stick with the manufacturer... I love that pleasing "fit to the vehicle" feeling.

I have the large size of the ROLA -- it's perfect. Dimensions: 38" x 15" x 7"



I stuck a couple pieces of heavy duty velcro hook on the bottom and it doesn't even move.

AL, there are a number of collapsible, expandable storage containers available which have been written about here. We got ours at Target, in the automotive section. It was about $20. It folds up to fit behind a seat and has Velcro on the bottom to keep it from slipping around.

That must be the one I have, too, because it fits perfectly! The dividers are movable, so I have them adjusted to hold CDs in one section, my smart cleaning supplies and tire chains in another and two large sections left for shopping.


Only trouble is if I need to carry big things (like luggage) I need to take it out.

Try Amazon.com

Had the same problem years ago with my Grand Cherokee. Found a setup from Cargo Logic that consisted of a cargo mat and four 6" high plastic L pieces that had velcro on the bottom. Worked great, so I tried just the plastic L brackets in my Smart - Holds even stronger. I found Amazon.com had them (set of 4) for $14 and change in Charcoal (Matches the interior perfectly). Ordered 2 sets and can move and adjust them to fit almost anything. They're called Cargo Logic Cargo Loks
