I had a voucher to spend on accessories/parts from Vauxhall that had to be used before it got lost. I ended up buying the boot mat and cargo/storage net but as per usual with Vauxhall their descriptions left a bit to be desired.
The boot mat is a pretty substantial bit of rubber (added weight is not really ideal), however it does not go completed side to side, there being a little gap all around. Deep ridges will make sure that any sand, dust etc and any dampness/moisture on wellies/boots/jackets etc will not get as far as the carpet and should be easily vacuumed out when the need arises. The website mentions that it should protect the bumper but in fact there is no additional flap to unfold over the bumper as you load and unload.
The cargo net is dual purpose, it can be used as shown on the website as 'pocket' net stretched across the back of the boot behind the tail lights, with part of the elasticated webbing having loops to go over the button pegs at each side and clips to attach it to the tie -down loops on the back panel at floor level. Each side of this folded net can be unzipped to make flat cargo net which can then be clipped to the four tie-down loops at floor level.
