Install Genuine Honda Trunk Cargo Net in Civic Sedan (DIY Guide)

Quick Answer

Installing a Genuine Honda trunk cargo net in your 2022+ Civic Sedan takes about 10 minutes. You just need to locate the four factory attachment points in the trunk and snap the net's hooks into place.

Installation Steps

1. 1. Unpack and Inspect the Net: Remove the cargo net from its packaging. Locate the four plastic hooks attached to the elastic cord. Check that the hooks rotate freely and the cord is not twisted. A twisted cord will make the net sit unevenly. Straighten it now to avoid rework.
2. 2. Find the Attachment Points in the Trunk: Open the trunk and look for four small rectangular cutouts or loops. Two are near the rear seatback (left and right), and two are near the trunk opening (left and right). These are the factory attachment points. On some trims, the points may be hidden behind carpet. Gently feel along the edge if you don't see them immediately.
3. 3. Attach the Rear Hooks First: Take the two hooks attached to the shorter sides of the net. Hook each one into the rear attachment points near the seatback. Pull the cord gently to seat the hook fully. Do not force the hook. If it doesn't click in, check that you're using the correct side of the net.
4. 4. Attach the Front Hooks: Stretch the net toward the trunk opening. Hook the remaining two hooks into the front attachment points. The net should now sit flat and taut across the trunk floor. If the net sags, one hook may not be fully engaged. Recheck each hook for a solid connection.
5. 5. Test the Tension and Adjust: Place a small item like a grocery bag behind the net. The elastic should hold it firmly without excessive stretching. If the net feels loose, reposition the hooks in the same points to ensure they are fully seated. A properly installed net will not droop or rattle. If it does, one hook is likely not in the correct slot.
