Flexible adjustable cargo area liner for station wagons, minivans and sport utility vehicles

A flexible adjustable liner for the cargo area of station wagons, minivans and sports utility vehicles, comprising:

• a liner formed from a flat cross-shaped pattern of flexible water-resistant material and having a central rectangular floor section, two opposing upwardly-foldable side sections, an upwardly foldable rectangular front section, and a rectangular rear section, the side sections, front section and rear section all being joined along an edge to said central floor section to form a five-sided open-topped enclosure when said two side sections, front section and rear section are folded to an upward position, and a plurality of grommets spaced along an outer periphery of each of said side and front sections;
• and
• a cord system comprising at least three lengths of cord, including a first length of cord suspending one of said side sections in said upwardly-folded position from a plurality of suspension points spaced along a ceiling or side window on a corresponding side of said vehicle, said first length of cord being fixedly attached to one of said side section grommets, extending upwardly there from at an angle and slidably passing through one of said suspension points, extending downward there from and slidably passing through another of said side section grommets in a triangular configuration, extending upwardly there from and slidably passing through another of said suspension points, and extending downward there from and being fixedly attached to another of said side section grommets in a triangular configuration, thereby defining a multi-triangular suspension of said side section, a second length of cord similarly suspending the other of said side sections from a plurality of suspension points spaced along a ceiling or side window on an opposing side of said vehicle in a multi-triangular suspension, and a third length of cord suspending said front section in said upwardly-folded position from a plurality of vehicle headrests, said third length of cord being fixedly attached to one of said front section grommets, extending upwardly there from at an angle and slidably passing around one of said headrests, extending downward there from and slidably passing through another of said front section grommets, extending upwardly there from and slidably passing around another of said headrests, and extending downward there from and being fixedly attached to another of said front section grommets;
• and
• at least three spring detent cinches each applied to a corresponding one of said three lengths of cord, said cord lengths each being looped through the corresponding cinch to allow said three lengths of cord each to be adjusted in effective length by positioning and setting the spring-detent cinches along said loops;
• whereby said liner is suspended peripherally by said suspension-cord system attached along the windows or ceiling of the vehicle to thereby conform said liner to the entire cargo storage area.
