I’ve just swapped my Octavia estate Mk III for a Mk IV estate. When I ordered the Mk IV the luggage net wasn’t available as an option, but I notice that on the configurator it now can be selected. Having this on the Mk III I took the liberty of taking out the net & unscrewing the mounts, as it seems the barrels for the screws are there beneath the fabric on the back of the rear seats of the Mk IV. I had moments to do this while both cars were next to each other before my Mark III was whisked away by the delivery driver. Consulting briefly with him he agreed with my logic.
 

All seemed fine & I was impressed with my own ingenuity, but…! Sitting in my new Mk IV I looked back & saw there are no mounting points inside on the roof of the car for the net pull up and attach/fix to.

 

Question: Are these only fitted when selecting the partition net at the order stage? Or can they be fitted by the dealer? Have I made a mess by taking the partition net out of my old Octavia and expecting it to fit the new model? I’m annoyed at the thought of depriving the owner of my used Mark III if I can’t anyway use it in my new Mk IV.  
 

The first image is of me having removed the mounts for the partition net from my old Mark III and the second shows there are no hooking points for the net to lift up to and fix into.

The net programme for the saloon uses the rear seat latch loop on the C pillar for the upper location of the partition and side nets.

I think the saloon/hatch must use a different system. When I look at the configurator for the estate the partition net looks identical to the one from my Mark III Octavia. It’s just that my new car is missing the fixing points in the roof, as per this picture. It’s all very frustrating! I think my bet bet is to call the dealer & ask if there’s a retro fit.

 

My mistake - I am confusing the "boot net programme" with the "partition net". The mount points are probably hidden under your roof lining - be bold and hack holes in it to find them!

Found this in the user manual, is this what you mean?

It’s these lashing eyes that my car is missing. As inspectorman has suggested above there may be the holes for the lashing eye fittings under the roof lining. I’ve had a feel along that part of the car but can’t trace anything obvious. I might just swing by the dealer next time I’m passing by & see if they can help or advise. If there’s a way of sorting it then I’d like to do it. If it’s too much trouble… Anyone want a luggage partition next from a Mark III Octavia estate?!

Were you successful with this in the end? I am investigating if it is possible to retrofit the ceiling lugs/receptacles for the net partition in a mk3 Octavia Estate?
