Default World'* lamest Bonneville question......

ok..... here we go-

How do I fix the sagging nets on the back of my AL7'*?

I mean these jokers are REALLY sagging..... as in loser than a pair of blue jeans on a hip-hop rapper. We're talking BAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGY!!

I may even take a picture just to prove to the BC that my seat nets are sagging......

I need help, and so do my seats. :?

cut and tie the bunjie shorter?

afaik, its sewn into the INSIDE of the seat... making it rather impossible to fix and look halfway decent

i got the same problem, but unfortunately its my own fault for pulling on them when i was younger....my brother helped, so it wasn't all me

why did we do that :(

(my brother and I are also the reason for the scratches in the leather on the back seats...and most likely the reason my headliner if falling)

anyway all i did for now was kinda pull that top part to one side and tied a knot in it so it wasn't baggy

Get some small wire ties (zip ties, or whatever you want to call them) and tighten them up by pulling from each side a little. I have the same problem on my 93.

not sure if I want to cut it....... and you're thinking is along the same lines as mine in that I too think it'* sewn into the seat.

Thanks for the idea though...... :P

Yeah, I'm not really to blame on this one...... since I just recently stole the seats out of my wife'* wrecked SSE. But I'm not helping matters by throwing like 20 cd'* in each net.

I'm going to look into the knot deal..... that may work!

I like this idea also...... may try the zip ties if the knots dont work.

I wonder if we should go with a class action lawsuit against GM for sagging seat nets?! :?

The easiest and quickest solution I have found is just pulling each end of each elastic band and tying a knot in it. (edit: oops already mentioned)

A new solution I thought of a few weeks ago was to get some of the spring-style clips on sweatshirts and jackets and put them on the ends of the elastic bands. I just need to find some that are tan to match my seats.

The type of clip I'm talking about.

Oh cheet....... now THAT is a killer idea. You let me know where and when you find them since I need tan also.

I'll let you know! I'll be searching for some soon. I've been meaning to do this for a while. I may just find some matching ones and paint them if I have no luck.

But this way it will fix the problem permanently, and it will always be easily adjustable. It will look good too.
