RE: Cargo net?

[mpcripps <mpcripps@atl.mediaone.net>]

The P/N is correct, but you shouldn't have to drill any holes if you 
install the net
across the lower inside rear surface of the trunk. There are 2 holes 
conveniently located
at the 90 degree at each side of the lower edge of the trunk opening. You 
will need 2 of P/N 1HM-861-823, which is a the tie-down bolt. It has a 
'T' shaped top, with a wide base and an expanding rubber anchor. It looks 
like a cleat on a boat. You push it into a hole and tighten. The nut 
pulls tight against the base as it expands the rubber and holds the cleat 
in place. Be forewarned, they're not cheap. I bought an extra net and 
cleats for my Wolfsburg Edition, the "cleats" are called brackets, and 
cost $14.40 each.
