Hi. Just curious if any of you guys have taken off your nets. I was going to remove mine and it seems the bolts are a strange design. Probably for a reason. The nets are the only thing that use these bolts. They kind of look like torx. Possibly something In between t30 and t40. Although none of my sets offer that. I tried to remove one and it started stripping. Some sort of special fastener I guess. Thanks for the help.

Mine came off 2 nights ago. The brackets were held on by Metric Allen screws. After I removed the nets, I put the brackets back on thinking that in the back by the box, I might bungie cord something back there and the extra bracket might be handy. Also I think they may have put "Lock Tight" on the threads as some were a bit tough to remove.

I took my nets off the first day I had it and I also put the bolts and hangers back in the sway bar.

They work great for bungee tie offs.

I plan to leave all my nets in place. Don't want to lose a rug rat. I have way too much time and attachment to those

I chose to keep the nets on for the kids and grandkids. The driver side net is rolled up tight and out of the way.

Well I ended up getting them off. I only took the front nets off. Kids will not be driving. And me and my wife are pretty calm. I don't see us flipping it over. Plus is speed increases the seat belts will be on.

I removed all my nets right after getting my machine. Don't have little kids and can't see us using them. Just get dirty and in our way. I left all the hardware in place tho. The brackets have proven to be good for securing bungee cords, garage door opener, sun glass cases, etc.

I took the nets off the 1st day. But, driving through thick brush makes me wonder if I should put them back on for certain trails. Been whipped in the face a couple of times already. The screws were a strange size but I got something close and just barely got them out.

Anybody know the size and bit type to get the net brackets off? Nothing I have is the right size. It's kinda Torx and kinda not and in-between standard sizes.

Yep nets came off first day also left the brackets on for future use

Mine are off. They do make good bungee locations. Also good place to mount custom accessories. Ive seen a few on here. I'm using the front left and right corner under the roof for interior light mounts.

On my P5 I folded them longitudinally and using the existing fasteners affixed them to the B pillar. In this way on the job site easy to deploy and play time just fold and store.

I will try that, but I'm pretty sure mine were toothed like a Torx type head on them. Thanks.

500 or 700? 500 has the torx heads.

Be sure to save the bolts. I took them off and then when I put the hard doors on, the instructions said I needed to re-use them. I got lucky and found them again even after eight months of being in my less than organized shop. lol

Doh! **** if it wasn't! The inner portion of the bolt head threw me off because it looks like torx serrations down in there. Thanks!

 

[kowboy63]

Took my nets off the first day, I left the screws and brackets, a couple days later I removed the doors. I like it a lot better without the doors but I'll probably put them back on for the winter.
