I'm looking for mounting solutions to rig a ceiling cargo net. Marked in blue on the screenshot.
I'm not sure what Toyota was thinking when they removed the ceiling handles for the 2nd row, but there's just no mounting point available in the 6g after they added those pull handles to the door frame. On my 5th gen, those ceiling handles were the front mounting point for a gear loft and the garment hanger in the way back from the rear mounting location.
I'm ready to pry off the trim panel on the 2nd row upper seat belt trim to make a small bracket that bolts to the upper seat belt mounting point. Before doing so, I'm trying to confirm the airbag locations. On the 5th gen, this panel has a curtain airbag clearly marked. On my 6g, the panel has no airbag logos after the second row pillar between front and 2nd seating.
Does anyone know if there's anything I need to worry about regarding curtain airbags or maybe the seat belt pretensioner device on that 2nd row?
The manual shows the curtain airbag on page 36 and clearly states not rigging anything in the areas I'd like to. Of course, this is no different than all the 5th gens driving around with molle panels in the bag. There's a balance between functionality and safety. In my case, I already removed the rear seats in my 6g so rear passenger safety isn't a concern.
