Default Window Net Mounting??? Window net people come on in please ....

Trying to figure out a clean way to mount a window net in my car......what are you guys using and how are you mounting them so they are not a PITA when getting in and out of the car? I was thinking of getting a trapezoid net and mounting it sideways from the door bar to the halo bar but i can find one to size correctly........input would be appreciated....

Thanks!!

Anything other then normal set up sucks trying to make work.
I'm pretty cheap, and I'm giving up and ordering a custom net.
I want to mount mine narrow side up and I can't find one with the loops like that??
It might be worth the $40-50 bucks to get it nice and not in the damn way all the time.

I have the same, stroud window net kit from wolfe!! However...... each to there own its not the easiest thing to put up and down! It is a little bit fiddley, it might wear in better after some stretching and use!
Hope this helps.

I have a stroud custom, and the connection latch is a seatbelt from the junk yard. That's right, the metal tang (male end) is welded to the top front of the net bar which is vertical, then reciever of the seatbelt is welded to the halo, simple quick and easy to get in and out, and just as safe as if it was a seatbelt, lol...

let me find pics...
OK I cannot find pics of my mount, but here is the net just after install...
