This is the link on ebay which I bought it from, if you are interested. I removed the pull nylon rope since it is not necessary. It is little bit tricky to put the nuts when installing but not too hard.

Just use a long think stick to hold the clip into position.
Ordered another one yesterday. I hope it arrived as soon as you get your, so I will show some pictures.

A think stick! That must be a stick that knows exactly where to position the clip behind the hole, right?

I think you meant "thin," but with one letter changed, you might have meant "thick," too. A thick stick might hold the clip against the hole better than a thin stick, but it probably takes a thin stick to get the clip where it needs to be.

I meant thin but what ever as long as you can hold the clip and put it through the square opening to reach the farther hole. Since I am not good at words, I took 1 screw off and take some pics for reference

Beside the Dual channel full HD 1080 dashcam, this is the only mod on my Clarity so far: Cargo hangher and cargo net. The cargo hanger is unnoticeable when unfolding and fit exactly in 2 existing hole in the trunk, no drilling needed. Just order one to see if it works or not, will order another one to install on the right side.View attachment 2258 View attachment 2259 View attachment 2261 View attachment 2260

Hi Jim,

I’m looking to put the cargo net in but I think I like your install better then Honda’s. Which anchor points did you use for the bottom?

Since I don't want to drill my car, I hooked the bottom of the net into the corner of the black plastic piece, it firms and holds the net pretty good.

Does the hanger block much of the view through the trunk window? Does it fold up when not in use? If it folds, can you see it in the trunk window when folded?

Hi Jim, I'm trying to install the cargo net the way you have but I realized after I took the clips out that it wouldn't really "lock" the net hook in since I can't reach the back of the hole. Could you tell me how you did it? Thanks.

For the cargo net, I replaced the original clip with the hook ring which bought on Ebay and used the small plastic wall anchor to install it in to the hole

That's awesome. Thanks! I didn't want to drill the hole nor did I feel like spending $30+ to get the rivet nut tool just for this.
It's crazy to me that these manufactures have these accessories that requires us drilling holes in their instructions.

I used Vice Grip to hold the nut in place (in installing OEM cargo hook, which otherwise would require some specialized tool)

I followed your tip and used a small vice grip and it worked great! I used the clips supplied as bolts and only needed to add a washer for the larger hole. The bags perfectly reach the trunk floor. Thanks everyone!

Thanks for the tips on installing the cargo bag holder. It was a pain to install, but everyone's tips plus the pictures helped.
Now on to the cargo net...
