Default Rear Cargo Net

Can someone post pictures of how it attaches for me?

When I bought my 2001 last month there was no Cargo Net so I purchased one and can only find 2 attachment points on my car.

Thanks all.

I have yet to figure mine out too. I found two more of the hooks like the ones that hold the front of the "security blanket" in the car and there are places on each side to screw those on. So, there are now four attachment hooks but the net doesn't seem to stretch far enough.

Think I'll give it another try tonight.

There are four hooks. Two are high up on each side you almost have to do them by feel. The net has to be placed right side up. I am not sure but I believe the bottom is wider. I could be wrong you will know when you install it. Good luck

Thanks! Nextime, I had the same problem on my 01, I was too ashamed to ask. Glad to see I'm not alone on this one.

Keep in mind also there are 2 different sizes. I ordered one for my coupe from the local dealership and they sent the convert one.........TWICE! Finally purchased the correct one from ebay.

I found a vendor that sells one with the C5 logo embroidered in the middle. I think it cost about $70. Looks awesome.

If you are interested, pm me and I will pull out the paper work so you can order one.

OK, now I know why I couldnt find them, they are not on my car. I felt the threaded studs so now I got to go and buy the hooks.

Yes, the 2 bottom hooks are not standard with the car. On new cars, with the net option, 2 hooks were included I believe.
