Default Luggage for the rear seats?

Coming to terms with the realities of 911 ownership.... looking for pieces of luggage that fit exactly on top of the folded down rear seats. Something very boxy that stays in place, doesn't slide around, and isn't too fancy to attract thieves.

Has anyone had any success finding these?

Don't know if there are any pieces the are custom designed to fit in the 911. After years and years of flying small aircraft with limited cargo space and weight carrying ability, I have found the soft luggage works well in the back of the 911. I am referring to duffels, yacht bags etc. First, they don't slide as much and if they do there is no scuffing of the interior. Second, they can be manipulated and shaped to fit in the back nicely.

+1. It allowed our GTS Targa to swallow up a TON of luggage during our Euro Delivery with a baby in the back seat. Flexible and uber soft.

My car speaks German. I, however, do not.

Good looking set, but I use my soft-sided Briggs & Riley bag and it fits perfectly in the bottom of the frunk. I can augment it with a duffle bag on the top with no issues.

I can't read German. I wonder if they fit the AWD models. Those frunks are a bit smaller than in the RWD variants.

Is it me or do these prices seem really reasonable?

Has anyone purchased from this company yet?

Yes..... Version 2 is for turbo/awd cars. We loose the roller wheels.

Google does a very good job of translating the entire site.

Click the UK Flag and the site will translate to English...


My choice would be soft duffels or backpacks...

Good looking bags, and nicely fitted.

Google translate folks, takes all but .1 seconds to convert.

I tried to order, but they do not ship to the United States. I search but couldn't find these for sale in the US. If anybody finds a US distributor, please post it, thanks.
