I see the screws on the upper inner fender but they do not have the hooks with them.
I do see two hooks on the rear trunk lid, i am guessing for a cargo shade ?
arnt the two rear hooks that are suppose to be on the upper inner fender for this net ?
does that other net also attach to the same two hooks ?

My car only has the longer net and the hooks were already installed. The hooks are the same as other GM cars with cargo nets. Would be easy to find in a wrecking yard. I like and use my net all the time.
Poor pictures from cel phone and its dark in there but may give you the idea.

My car was also missing the shade. It just mounts with elastic loops at the corners so I made one from black vinyl. Works great and looks great. Only cost $13 for the vinyl fabric and elastic. Just need to find someone with a sewing mahine to help. If you want I will try to take pictures but I tinted my back window real dark.

Both were in back of the car, both are made by the same company..they have the same info tags.
maybe the wider net is for a different car ?

Do you have 2 hooks as it takes 4. I know Michelles Malibu seen next to th Vette in the shade photo has the same hooks. So did her 1992 Buick Skylark so they should be easy to find. My Sky has them in the trunk but I dont know why. A cargo net was not an option. I guess because when the top is down there is no room for cargo in the trunk. They are not in a useful place anyway. I think they double as wing nuts to remove the panels. I would think they would be fairly cheap from an online dealer as well.

OP - that does not look like a factory cargo net for the C5 - sure doesn't look like the one I have for mine.

Mine came with my car and looks just like the one on the left. Its show on the options codes for the car and the option included a cargo shade I did not get. Thats what happens when you buy used.
