It will for sure block your rear view window. Especially with stuff in the cargo net. I have the net but only the short one. And it fits quite a few items. I mostly use it to store my portable pop up tent for bathroom use and few other items. One concern is that if you off road and you’re on uneven road. Stuff has a tendency to fly out. Which can be dangerous. I wished Raingler would of though of a safety lip especially one to prevent stuff from flying towards the passenger or driver. Also if you get a full length one. Take into consideration if you have tall passengers in the back. Especially if you are going to have items in the net. It will sag and probably touch their heads. So to sum it up. Raingler needs to make one with safety lip. Or at least crest a add-on safety lip for us who already own it. And consider passengers.

No problems at all.
And the rivnuts go in without pulling the headliner. And if you want to pull it out the headliner clips work in the rivnuts.

Helpful again rkntoy. Well-executed.
I will do what you did, possibly using stand-offs to create just a little space above to squeeze-in compressible items like jackets.
That welded mesh seems to fit perfectly back there. May I asked where you sourced it? Apologies if mentioned earlier...
After looking for my rivnut tool I now believe it might have been part of theft at our previous home! Damn, I keep finding more stuff missing...

It is 2" welded - I got a 4x8' sheet for a different project (that I never did) from the local steel supplier. If you lived closer you could get some for free - I still have the rest of the sheet left.

Appreciate the offer! When I skied, I'd make way up there periodically...
I'll check my local metal yard. Thanks.

So many different items that people can carry up in the ceiling net. Totally agree, one must consider safety for passengers and driver. We also build these in 5 different material configurations, so some people want to carabineer and use the cargo net style. Others want to just throw soft goods, like jackets and blankets and soft pouches, probably the safest items as well. Yes, a fold back can be built into the front by request, or others use a bungee across the mount D rings. In our shop 4Runner, we run two emergency blankets rolled tightly at the width of the ceiling net and put at the front edge like a wall and then do a cinch on the buckles to draw the blankets tight up against the headliner. They tend to be left in there all the time being they are emergency use and not the normal bedding ones but you get the idea. It makes a barrier that can be used if needed and keeps stuff behind it. We of course don't recommend you carry the cast iron skillet or a bottle jack up above 
The long one will get in the headroom of anyone above 5'8 or so. It's really only a good storage solution if headroom is a non issue or you want to fold it back up on itself (to make an envelope) when you may be carrying taller passengers. Bring and extend it forward when camping or just two person use. We try to be versatile here and cover as many possible requests and scenarios as possible but hopefully this gives some ideas to assist.
