Abstract: A cargo net for a passenger vehicle is described as being formed of a substantially rectangular netting fabric to fit the rear compartment opening of a van, mini-van or the like passenger vehicle with a length of nylon webbing material affixed to its perimeter. A plurality of hook and loop fasteners are used to secure the cargo net to the vehicle structure, which permit separation at selected points around its periphery for access to speciific cargo articles without having to detach the entire cargo net. In one embodiment, two D-rings are described to cooperate with two tension adjusting straps, formed of hook and loop fasteners, to adjust and vary the tension between the cargo net and the articles being restrained.
