Caravelle ceiling mounting points

I have one in the Volvo and they're a godsend when you need to carry loads so got one for the Caravelle too.
Here's mine in situ in the front mounts:
And the rear mounts:
I'd hoped that we could leave it in place at the rear as a luggage guard but it's under too much tension for comfort. The Volvo one is tensioned by a buckle so has some variability, the VW one is like an elastic safety strap and a T fitting into the rails.
The front is useful as I can drop the seats flat, throw the rugs over them and move big IKEA boxes etc. But given the roof mounts are fixed and there is so little variability in the bottom straps I'm not sure why they hook into the rails, in both positions a tensionable strap that hooked into the lashing rings would make it sit better.
They're around £600 new and IMHO not worth that, keep an eye out second hand I ended up getting one for £150 and they are worth that for when you want to move big stuff.
