Title: Luggage anchors
Post by: guest5611 on August 28, 2015, 07:29:03 PM: I was disappointed to find that my new Jazz doesn't have the four luggage anchors in the floor of the boot. They were great in the old Mk1 Jazz - it meant you could secure just about anything into the boot with three bungee hooks. I don't know whether they aren't fitted in any of the Mk2s or whether it is something to do with the hybrid having the batteries under the boot floor. More importantly, does anyone know if it is possible to fit a set, or can anyone recommend alternatives for securing luggage from sliding about in the boot?

Same- I have an 2009 ES and have the hooks as described

Or get a spare wheel which will occupy a significant part of the boot and leave less room for the luggage to move around in.

But, I do need something to keep the shopping upright. Unspilled........ >:(

8mm dia bungee cord. Loop at l/h end. Carabina, at r/h end.......

However, is it a pain to undo the cord to thread the shopping handles through?

Or is it one of those quick release hook things?

Hi Gary.
No problem at all! It is simply unclipped, and taken through the handles.

I guess I could still thread the cord how you have done

Yes. The shelf was only removed to make the photography easier...... ;)

The carabiner, (cost, next to nowt, Ebay), is unclipped from the r/h headrest upright. Using right hand, underneath shelf.

Thread bag handles on, while loading boot. Re clip to upright. Lower headrest, to look tidy.......
