Thanks to
nickm's post of Aug 08 and
Callihan's post of Jul 08, and their excellent pictures, I was able to purchase Porsche part No. 955-551-691-03-3W4 ($266.54), which is the nylon rollup cargo cargo partition offered standard worldwide by VW and not at all in the U.S. and Canada. My partition was made in Hungary in June 2006 and has a sticker with both the VW part number (starting with 7L...) and the Porsche part number.
For those of you with the 2006 NAR manual, this VW part and its use is described on booklet 3.1, pages 87-88. Anyone with the 2005 NAR manual will find it on pages 90-92.
It is a heavy item and is supposed to lock up upon braking, just like a seat belt, so as to not yield and open anymore than it already is. This is important, as the net opens twice as much when the seats are laid flat as when the seats stand up.
Of course
the most important use of this is when the seats are laid flat... but here VW of A performed a great dis-service to North American customers, because they gave us large doorlights and switches above each rear door, instead of what I speculate must be mixed half light/half retainer hole sockets that should be present elsewhere in Touaregs.
I wonder if anyone outside NAR could post pics and hopefully part numbers for the forward retainer hole sockets?
