Assuming that you still have a roof over the back of your Jimny I thought I would share my latest improvement. I'm a farmer so am outside all year round and constantly at the mercy of the weather. Consequently I have always got coats and jumpers in the car and they are forever in the way getting covered in muck. Soooooo in a moment's weakness I have removed the rear upper grab handles and the 3 fir tree clips from the rear of the headliner and used the holes to secure a bungee net to the ceiling which now has coats in it out of the way. It's probably a bit soft really hence the additional 2 bungees and I might order a webbing replacement eventually but I can still see out of the back, it's not any more intrusive than the spare wheel.

I even took a picture!

No matter which way up I save the picture it is determined to have a little lie down. They don't normally. Never mind.

It is a good idea that. I have seen a few variations of it. Keeps them out of site as well. Anyone looking through windows will probably not think about looking up.

Are you planning to refit the grab handles any time in the future? If it's a permanent change and you don't mind selling one I'm after one to fit for the driver seat aswell hence asking.

Does the Gen3 have mounts behind d the roof lining for a drivers side handle? When I looked on my Gen4 I couldn't see/feel any.

Been looking at doing a similar thing, mainly for keeping pillows out the way on camping trips. What size have you used?

It's 12 inch square. I think it was for a bike helmet originally.

Good idea Lambert!

I've got something similar coming from Amazon, but thanks for the offer.
