There are a couple ways to freshen up the cargo nets. First, you can adjust the sagging nets by taking up slack on the formerly elastic cord a the top of the net. Go to a dry goods store (sewing supplies) and buy a pair of plastic toggles that are used at the bottom of windbreaker jackets or on drawstring bags. Run a loop of the cord through the toggle and then you can loosen and tighten it as needed.
The second way is to replace the netting and frame with either a OEM part or a good one from a breaker yard. It's removed by sliding off the seat back, which is held in place by two screws at the bottom edge of the seatback.

Remove the back pannel of the seat, - there are 2 screws on the bottom of it - then there are rubber (seals?) that run the length of the pannel's sides (attached to the leather on the side of the seat). Work these seals off of the pannel from the bottom to the top by pulling out (to the back) and out (to the side) - and remove pannel...
When you are inside the back pannel you can shore up a sagging cargo net by tieing the top strand in a knot about one inch over on one side and cutting off the excess.

The top cord (elastic) is the usual one that sags and can be replaced by some simple "shock cord" (~1/4"). I got mine online somewhere, but camping, outfitters, maybe fabric stores should have it. I've even seen it in OSH Hardware stores.
