who was it that put the grocery bag hooks in the trunk? ... Europa?
My dealer mailed me a pair... For free actually! And I just sat in my trunk for a few minutes and I'm just wondering how you put them in. Did you use the holes on the lip closest to the trunk lid? They were square holes and line up with the bracket perfectly. The hooks came with screws and little metal nut type fasteners that need to go on the other side of the rear tray in order to hold the entire thing up. It seems it might just be easier to drill holes and get self tapping screws but I would rather avoid drilling holes in the car, or making a trip to the dealer.
How did you do this? my groceries scatter across my trunk!
Thanks

Yes, it was me... Boston linked to the post.
Those square holes are obviously intended for the grocery hooks, Can't you just press those clips/"nut type fasteners" into the square holes? I just drilled mine in, and it seems to work just fine. I drilled pilot holes first.

the supplied clips dont fit through the holes, I'll have to find some different ones.
I'll see what I can come up with. Thanks

I'd like to see pics of those!
I ordered the hooks, clips and screws, but the clips are on backorder.. Which is probably just as well since they don't fit.
Could you post pics or a description of what you used.
Oh, FYI,.. The rubber euro mats are available for order and I've got a set of fronts on the way. They aren't the deep winter mats, but it's better than ruining the stock carpetted mats.

I just called the parts dept at Herb Chambers
It was in their system somewhere. It will be a couple weeks before they arrive from Germany, though.
I;m in there Monday for my 5k service (already!).. I'll try to get part numbers and post them.
