The present invention comprises a retention loop device 10 for a cargo area of a vehicle (figure 9). The retention loop device comprises a mounting arrangement 12 and a loop 14 pivotally coupled to the mounting arrangement. The loop is pivotable between a stowed state (figure 1A) and a deployed state. The mounting arrangement comprises one or more retaining elements 18 configured to engage the loop when the loop is in the stowed state to resist pivoting of the loop away from the stowed state. The loop comprises a hinge portion 16 by which the loop is pivotally coupled to the mounting arrangement, wherein each of the one or more retaining elements is configured to engage the loop at a respective position spaced apart from the hinge portion. The retaining elements may comprise resiliently deflectable protrusions (20, figure 4) where the protrusions and the loop are shaped to form a snap-fit engagement in the stowed state. The protrusions may have a ramp surface 26 conforming to a curved cross-section of the loop so as to bias the loop to the stowed state. The protrusions may extend from either side of a cover (48, figure 5).
