1984 – 2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ Full Ceiling Net Installation
Shown on 2000 year model
NOTE: Many newer models have B-pillar handles and even overhead on the ceiling that can be used for some of the top mounting locations. Check to see if you prefer to use these factory locations as the nets typically have enough adjustment to allow for this option. If your vehicle does not have handles in desired locations or you prefer to install mounting points for better fitment, please follow the below steps.
IMPORTANT: READ INSTRUCTIONS FULLY BEFORE STARTING

Tools and included Hardware: (may vary by vehicle year or trim) Displayed Left
to Right
- Power Drill
- Torx 20 bit or driver
- Ratchet Wrench

- Rubber mallet or similar hammer
- Pilot Hole Punch

Note: Watch the video here https://vimeo.com/321352161 for instructions on how the C100 attachment straps are installed and then proceed to the following steps specific for the Jeep Cherokee.
Step 1
Start in the cargo area at the side D pillar (next to liftgate and above
taillight area inside). Remove the screw in the upper trim panel above the
rear left and right windows. Pull the panel down enough to give you room to
work. If you’re having trouble, a panel removal tool can make it easier.
Step 2
Prepare to drill holes for footman mount. Pre-tapping your location with a
punch and a small rubber hammer will make drilling the pilot hole for the
footman mount easier. Photo shows footman mount installed. Repeat for other
side.
Step 3
At the C pillar (behind rear side doors) we will install the 2nd set of rear
hardware. Peel back the rubber cover on the top of the rear seatbelt. Next
step will require removal of the bolt holding the rear seatbelt. You may need
a rubber hammer to help loosen the bolt, as these are in tight. Keep the
hardware shifted toward the front of the vehicle as you tighten it
down.
Step 4
Install the front mount C100XM hardware. First, you will need to remove and
loosen the upper trim panel and remove the factory grab handle (passenger side
only. Driver side does not have a handle). Pop off the plastic covers on the
handle and remove the screws. Also remove the screw in the panel toward the
back seat as shown. Pop the pillar out and back to allow room to
work.
Locate the best area to install the C100X hardware. You can install it right
at the back of the front door, or at the front of the rear door. Either
location works. See photos. Mark your hole with a Sharpie pen before
drilling.
Step 5
Install C100XM hardware. Reinstall the panel trim. After installed, it should
look like photo shown here.
Step 6
Now that all your hardware is installed on BOTH sides, you’re ready to install
the ceiling net! Starting at the back, use the hardware you installed to
thread the rear net strap through, on both sides. Leave net loose as you
thread each strap through each set of hardware. Next, run the straps through
the hardware you installed at the rear seat belt. Do this on both sides.
- Then, wrap the 3rd strap around the rear seat handles.
- Lastly, run the front straps through the front hardware you installed.
Step 7
Tighten it all up! Starting at the front of the Cherokee, tighten the straps
until it is taut and even.
Step 8
Wrap and tuck your straps for a nice, clean look. See video here for details

You’re done! Enjoy your new Raingler Net for your XJ Jeep Cherokee! Please
note that these instructions can be used for rear cargo area ceiling nets. You
will only need to install the two rear sections of hardware.
