Default Cargo space on rear seats

Hello gyus, I found many cars with the plastic part on the rear side of rear seat avoiding suitcase movement (attached picture), but also some without this plastic. What additional equipment is required to receive new car with this part? Thank you

They no longer include the luggage stops on the seat backs and it’s not possible to specify them as an option. Early builds for MY20 had them. No MY21 cars have them.

By not including them, you can effectively fit bigger pieces back there. It’s not as if the stops really secured the luggage in the first place.

There has been some chatter on RennList about installing them on later builds, but I don’t of anyone who’s done it yet.

My 991.2 coupe (2017) had it but my cab (2018) and Targa (2019) did not. I can confirm that my 992 cab also doesn’t have this part …

Porsche doesn't actually define that area as cargo space, maybe it was in the 60's and 70's but not these days.

As detansinn says those parts really did very little to restrain luggage, if you plan on carrying anything of weight back there better to use some decent tie-downs.

What would have been effective - If Porsche had provided 4 tie-down spots so you could use an elastic netting to keep things in place.

I suspect there are regulatory requirements somewhere that Porsche doesn’t want to deal with.

They were no longer being put on builds by mid-2020 MY. I had carefully measured and purchased carry-on bags (2) to specifically fit on the shelf and be held in place partially by the tabs, and was somewhat disappointed that were absent from my January 2020 build.

Thank you guys for info. I am a little bit disappointed, in my ex 991.1 it worked perfectly to hold bags in place.

I'd rather the option of no stops to hold bigger suitcases if necessary, read: my WIFE needs all the suitcase space we can muster on week-long road trips.

I had found the parts at one of the various dealer sites, but could never figure out how to install them.

Default Rear seat space

Doing European Delivery of my 992 GTS this spring and I was wondering if anyone has maximum luggage dimensions for the rear shelf. Also, will the luggage be easy enough to load/unload in a coupe GTS with the seat folded forward? I would ideally like to have two large checked bags on the rear shelf and use two carry-ons in the frunk.

in a pinch I’ve got 2 rimowa suitcases in the back. Full size. One the larger one. One the not full size. You can get one carry on large and a soft duffel in the frunk .

Thanks, and you didn't have issues squeezing the luggage into the car with the seat folded forward?

Has anyone tried these Weathertech Cargo-tech corners to hold items in place in their folder rear seat backs?

I have some sporting equipment in flat cases that I place on the folded rear seat backs, yet they do slide around. I'm looking for something to hold them in place.
