Raingler NETS GRIPS 1999-2004 Nissan Xterra Full Ceiling Net Installation Guide
IMPORTANT: If you model does not have factory ceiling hooks, they must be installed first. You will need tools and hardware as shown in the video link below.
*Production products will have black coated metal hardware, not stainless color shown. See video here for details: https://vimeo.com/316655122
Step 1
Before you get started, make sure the 6 ceiling clips are facing the correct way. The 2005 and newer use metal hooks and normally do not need any repositioning. The fore and aft ceiling clips need to have their largest opening facing front to back, while the 2 center clips need to face each other as shown in the image to the right. All 6 of the attachment straps are extra-long to allow you to custom fit the net to your Xterra and cargo.
Step 2
Starting at the front or back, pass the straps through the ceiling clips. Loop them around and pass them through the buckles. Do the same for the side ceiling clips and the other end.
Step 3
The rear mounts (nearest the tailgate) should be snugged as far as they will go for proper placement of the net.
Step 4
The side mounts should be adjusted about as shown in the image here. Once your net is full with cargo, you can adjust the side mounts for tightness.
Step 5
(Driver’s door shown) Slide front seats forward for easiest access. Lower the upper seat belt adjuster all the way down. From 2nd row seat area, loosen the weather-stripping about 12″ from the front upper corner down as to allow access to plastic B pillar trim edge.
Step 6
Grasp upper portion of B pillar trim and wiggle to pop it loose enough to reach your hand inside (careful as edges inside may be sharp) and remove the black or SRS equipped pop out plastic rectangle loose pushing from back side gently. *Note: Be cautious that none of the plastic panel’s removable nylon clips fall in the channel or pick up a few extras from us when you order your barrier net.
Step 7
Loosen exposed 10mm black bolt.
Step 8
Fit the included Ranger C100XL hardware mount over the black 10mm bolt.
Step 9
Carefully portion the C100XL mount and the 10mm bolt to the inside mounting hole for the bolt with the tether of the D ring strap routed up and over the top of the B pillar trim panel.
Step 10
(Optional step for taller drivers). The upper seat belt adjuster can be raised all the way up and may barely contact the C100XL strap. If it is desired for free range of motion, trim a small edge off the contacting plastic.
Step 11
Reinstall removable rectangle piece, snap trim nylon clips into body holes and reinstall weather-stripping while maintaining a final hardware installation with the D ring accessible as shown.
Step 12
Once all the buckles are fastened, wrap and tuck the extra strap around and through the buckles to get ends out of the way. See video here for details: https://vimeo.com/316588617
