Cargo net attachment??
OK, I know this is trivial, but it's buggin' me. My '99 came with the "cargo net" (listed as option D42 "luggage shade and parcel net"), but when I bought the car from the original owner, the net was not installed. I found it in one of the rear storage wells, and figured I'd attach it... mainly out of curiosity. But, apparently the "hooks" or whatever that it is supposed to attach to missing... there's no place that I can see to attach the net. Anybody got a pic of how the thing is attached?
Thanks!
Thanks!

look behind the wheel humps in your trunk, two on bottom and two under quarter panels, I call em bull-horn screws (rubber) - jus look around with a flash light you'll see em - i was actually missing one when i bought the car, so hopefully, you'll have at least one in there to see what I am noting

How are the "bull-horn screws" attached? Do they look like something that can be purchased and installed back there pretty easily?

I ordered the cargo net and shade package with my car. When it came in, the screws/hooks were included in the package. The dealership installed them, but I was so busy checking out the car I didn't watch them do it.

when you put it on, the cargo net stretches pretty tight. we put ours on a year ago & forgot about it. the roof fits over very nicely & it has never been an issue regardless of how much stuff we cram into the back. best of luck. bub
