Abstract
A flexible cargo restraining straps mounted on the sidewalls of the rear cargo area of an automotive vehicle to receive and restrain small cargo items from moving about the rear cargo area of the vehicle. The divider members are positionable along the longitudinal length of the restraining straps to permit the creation of a cargo receptacle that conforms to the size of the small cargo item being placed therein. Preferably, the divider members are slidable along slots formed in the sidewall of the rear cargo area and can be selectively locked into the desired position. Additional divider members can be added to the restraining straps as desired for creating cargo receptacles therein as needed. Alternatively, the cargo restraining straps can be mounted on the roof or on the interior of the door for the rear cargo area.
