Default C5 Convenience Net assistance

I recently suffered from a stint with CRS ... can't remember squat! I had to remove the black security net, as well as the mesh convenience net. I was able to re-attach the security net, but can't remember where the mesh net attahces to. I read the owner's manual ... nothing specific, other than "REAR", but I thought I had it attached just behind the seats. I looked, but can't find proper mounting clips. Can anyone point me in the proper direction? Yes, these were both options on my car, and both came with the car from the factory.

It hooks on the same front cleats that the front of the security screen does.

On my 97 the convience net fastened to some thumb screws at the rear of the trunk compartment. Two on basically on each rear quarter. One at the bottom near the floor of the trunk and the other up under the curve of the quarter.

Here is a picture of the lower thumb screw on the driver's side just above the floor (shiny spot in the shadow from the internal top storage mount).


Then a picture of the net installed.

Thanks Dave & Bill. Now I remember having hooked on the same as the security net. I also remember the rear cleats, but did not see the upper cleats on my car (will check again).
