It's tough to take pics of. There are upper and lower hooks. The lower ones can be seen in the back corners. The upper ones you have to feel......waaaay up under the back corner of the trunk. In my car there was just a (1/4"?) screw sticking down at each side. The screw-on hooks were in a plastic bag with the net. They had never been installed.

The net stretches between all 4 hooks. Try this -

First of all make sure you have the right net. A vert or Z06 net will not be long enough to fit in a coupe.

The attachment point in a coupe is up under the quarter panels.
