I fitted a set to mine.

Dead easy when you know how.

They work like a roller blind. To access them you will need to remove the plastic end caps on the outboards of the rear seat backs and the screwed in metal plates on the inboard edges.

To remove the plastic end caps you will need to drill out the existing fixings. These are drive in and you will need to replace them when you refit. Order extra as they break easily and get them before you start as you can't reassemble the seat without them. Once the plates are off the way the cassette holding the net removes will be clearly apparent.

Watch the plastic parts where the seat belts pass through, these are very brittle and break easily.

Make sure that you extend the seat belts and tie them off in the extended position before you start. If you dont do this removing the plastic cowling will allow the belt to reel in too far when you tilt it forward. If this happens you will not be able to get the seat vertical again as it only releases when the seat back is upright.

I struggled for a long time with this!!!!
