Raingler 2024+ Toyota J250 Landcruiser/GX550 Behind 2nd Row Seats Barrier Divider Net Installation
Note: Many newer models feature B-pillar handles and overhead ceiling handles that can be utilized for top mounting locations. Verify if these factory locations suit your preference, as the nets generally offer sufficient adjustment. If your vehicle lacks handles in the desired positions or you prefer custom mounting points for optimal fitment, follow the subsequent steps.
IMPORTANT: READ INSTRUCTIONS FULLY BEFORE STARTING

Getting Started
Tilt the 2nd-row seats down. The Raingler logo should normally face the rear during installation, but it can be installed facing the other direction if preferred.
Step 1: Prepare Mounting Points
Using a trim panel removal tool, carefully insert it into the small opening at the top of the side wall indentation covers, located above the wheel well cover.

Remove the bolt cover.
And remove the 10mm bolt.

Reinstall using the C105RW Large washer, the Square anchor with tab, a small neoprene-backed washer, and the black socket head screw, assembled in the order shown.

Step 3: Attach Net Straps
Ready to install the net itself.
Hook the net's top straps to the ceiling handles. Feed the straps between the handle and headliner, then into the buckle cam. Open the cam buckle by depressing the tab and feed the strap's tapered end under the opposite flat side. Loosely draw the net up high, but do not fully tighten until both sides are attached and the net is centered.

Install the side wall straps. This will be the bottom strap on the Upper Barrier and the Middle Strap on the Full Height Barrier.

Install the Full Height Barrier's Lower Anchor Plate straps.

Step 4: Center and Secure Barrier
Center the barrier, starting with the top handle straps, then the lower straps, and finally the center straps if installing a Full Height Version. Double-check that the 2nd-row seat can fully seat if running the Full Height Barrier, as desired. Wrap and cover the buckles as demonstrated in the accompanying video.
