Luggage compartment -> Variable luggage compartment floor for Your Volkswagen Tiguan 4 Door First Generation (2007-2016)

WARNING  
The elastic luggage net has to be stretched when being attached to the tie-downs in the  
luggage compartment. The hooks can cause serious personal injury if not handled properly  
and attached securely.  
Always hold the hooks on the luggage net bag firmly when attaching to the vehicle and do  
not let them spring back and hit you.  
Always protect eyes and face from injury from the metal hooks when attaching them to the  
tie-downs in the luggage compartment.  
First attach the luggage net bag hooks to the tie-downs on the rear seat backrest or on the  
shopping bag hooks in the luggage compartment and then to the tie-downs near the loading  
edge of the luggage compartment. If one of the hooks on the luggage bag net snaps back, it  
will move away from you and not towards you, increasing the risk of injury.
