Default Dumb question about cargo net

I feel like a complete dumba$$, but I can not figure how (or where) the cargo net attaches. Either an anchor clip is missing on the interior, or I am completely missing the boat here. (I couldn't find anything in the owner's manual either.)
Please help - a picture would be great.
Thanks,
Gary

There should be 4 "T" screws on the rear face of the trunk. 2 on each side. Do you not have them?

OK, they are not so much "T" screws as they are like a section of a mushroom.

Default Ah ha!!

Mine only has the bottom anchors, not the ones on top. Oh, well - guess I won't be using the net any time soon.
That was a huge help - Thank you.

Mine had the two top anchors in the bag with the net. If you don't have them go to the dealer, or maybe someone has some extras.

I had the same problem. I bought two at the dealership. One of the few Corvette things that are cheap.

Hoodliner retaining pins are only $1.85 for a $.003 piece of plastic. I bought one just to feel like I was getting over on GM!!!!

In that top pic, all 4 hooks are on the back wall of the trunk. In mine, the 2 top hooks are up under the top of the fender, above the light and a little forward. You can't see the two top hooks by looking in the trunk area. Hope this helps.

Go to the dealer, get a couple of attachment hooks and then you'll be set to go. The net comes in handy at times.

Yeah, my C-5 is an '02 and there are exposed threads on a bolt high in the fender. I assumed this was where the top of each hooked but couldn't find the anchor thingy. My wife and I usually only buy a few groceries at a time and the net would be very handy for us.

Thanks, Y'All!!
