Raingler 2017 – Newer Honda CR-V Ceiling Net Installation
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.

CARGO AREA
Step 1
- Starting at rear ceiling trim panel open the child restaintaccess cover, remove and then grasp and carefully pop the center overhead trim panel and set aside.
- Note the green nylon inserts don’t fall or get left in the hole in the metal for reassembly later. *it may be helpful; to get a couple extra when you order or on our website by searching C116TN (or click link here)
Step 2
- Loosen the side quarter windows by carefully wigging from rear corners and popping the nylon inserts out. Some may have to also be removed from the holes and reinstalled into their appropriate positions on the plastic trim piece.
- The lower panel may have to be slightly loosened to allow the upper panel to have enough access in later steps. You should not need to full remove any of these side panels.
Step 3
- On the RH side you may have a harness and connecter just above an OEM hole. We carefully loosen this connector with a panel removal tool to keep the wiring safely out of the way for the next steps.
- Install the included C115L hardware and SMS bolt
- with bend facing out and tether strap facing forward and slightly up:
- Reinstall the wiring connector from previous step:
- LH side
Step 4
- Reassemble all loosened panels, paying attention to line up holes to plastic inserts and keeping the testers and D rings up and outside of trim pieces:
Step 5
- Loosely install the net with the wider area facing towards the front and straps attaching to the 2nd row overhead grab handles.
Step 6
- Tighten up the straps starting at the front and center the net. Tie up excess strap (adjustable for larger loads as needed) using this easy method for nice clean finished look: https://vimeo.com/316588617 Enjoy! Your net should look like this and ready to load:Also, secure gear in storage with carabineers and never carry heavy items unsecured that could be dangerous in an abrupt stop. Let us know if comments, questions and please tag us on social media when you’ve had a chance to load your net up and put it to use! FULL LENGTH VERSION adds B pillar installation – continued instructions on next page.
FULL LENGTH
Step 1
- Slide front seats all the way forward for best access. Grasp the top of the darker lower cover on the B pillar and carefully pull back towards center of interior. It is easier to start at one side by the rubber weatherstripping. Watch for plastic inserts that attach panels to the inner metal structure and snap into existing holes. We recommend picking up an extra pair of these nylon pieces (PART #C116TN) when you order in case any get lost or snap during disassembly.
- Pull the top weatherstripping rubber loose at the inside corners next to the lighter grey upper B pillar section.
Step 2
- Remove the lighter upper panel at the edge of the weather stopping to loosen each side. NOTE that you will need to twist and pivot the upper shoulder seat belt roller to orient through the panels slotted opening:
- Panel removed and laid back out of the way.
NOTE: The white plastic snap in is very difficult to remove and so we recommend a strong metal removal tool to pop it out. Reinstall this white insert back into the upper cover panel.
Step 3
- Line up the C100S Footman just below the headliner material and mark the hole location either with the punch or a marker.
Step 4
- Use a hammer and punch to indent the location to mount the footman’s screws:
Step 5
- Drill the holes in incremental steps until you get to the proper size for the screws. These supplied #12 screws need a 3/16 hole to properly thread and seat without being too tight. *Attempting to power drive the screws through too small a hole will likely snap the screw. Sharp drill bits and care and patience are key here on the hardest step of the process. Go slow and be careful that you don’t use too long a drill bit as to damage the exterior of the vehicle. There is plenty of room but check twice and drill once.
- Since the holes are right at the edge of the flat part of the mounting surface, one screw was installed before punching and drilling second hole
- Mount the C100S hardware and reassemble upper trim cover, rubber water stripping and then lower cover making sure that the plastic push ins are installed into the cover panels and line up to the holes. Remember how you oriented the upper seat belt roller assembly through the panels opening.
- Make sure that the tether of the C100S is clear and accessible when the panels are reinstalled.
Step 6
- Loosely install your net, generally with the logo facing down and toward the rear of the cabin.
- If you have the top quick release hooks you may have toadjust the tension so that you can lift the hook out of thepillar mounted C100S D ring.Return all seats to normal driving position. Loosely install all straps and then center the net. Tighten and finish up excess ends of straps as shown in our video.
