I keep windex and washer fluid in the strap.

I usually use the strap to hold down liquids (like gallon jugs of milk or two liter bottles) and the hangars I use to secure plastic bags (that I return for recycling) from grocery or other stores. Since I don’t have the cargo nets hooked up all the time, these two methods of securing things work best for me.

I could kick myself in the butt. I returned my '16 with the cargo net and my '19 didn't come with one. What's up with that?

Not sure if you've already checked it out, but if not, try checking out the left panel that has the mesh pocket in the cargo area. I'm the second owner of my F15 2016 and the cargo net was still there, unopened

Wine rack. I take a blanket we keep in the cargo area and spread it out between the mesh layers, then place wine bottle alternately above and below the blanket. The blanket keeps the wine bottles separated and the mesh hold the whole assembly in place.
