Need cargo storage advice

[Craigmri]

As I mentioned before I will be getting a new PT cruiser as a company car. I am a field service engineer and carry many tools, manuals, meters and spare parts. I am wondering if anyone has come up with dynamic ideas for making the most out of the cargo space in the PT. I'd like to keep the rear seats in place and functional so my goal is to utilize the behind the rear seat area only.

You would have to ask this on the one day I empty my PT out!!!

I sell first aid/medical supplies. In the back of my PT, I have 3 plastic coated wire shelving units, each containing 3 shelves. I don't have the dimensions, but the three units fit across ways tightly (you have to put the end ones in first then wedge the third one inbetween) and height ways, they come up to the same height as the highest parcel shelf guides. I still have the parcel shelf sitting on top of the units, but it's secured on the underside to the units with rope so it won't go anywhere. I have some lightweight stuff on the parcel shelf, but I have one half of the cargo net (starting from the back seats) attached on both sides on the top two fixing points to secure the things on the parcel shelf, and have the second half attached to the same front fixing point as the middle clips to form a basket in front of the shelving units.

I've had this system for nearly 12 months now. The drawers have never flung out, the shelf hasn't moved even in the most drastic braking situations, and it's amazing just how much you can fit into the PT now!

I'll be loading the car up again on Monday, so I'll take some pics and post them for you then....
