Installing Cargo Net..

joncw55 · 02-24-2008, 06:13 PM

So I bought a cargo net for my trunk from the dealership the other day cause i was tired of listening to my crap bouncing around in the trunk. I got as far as mounting and drilling everything out when I came across a tool that i needed and apparently noone has. Its called a rivnut tool, I dont want to go and spend more money on this tool than i did the net to only end up using it once. My question is does anyone know where/how I can get one cheap or if there is actually another way of installing this rivet nut? This thing has been a pain in the a** and i just want to get it in. thanks in advance..

You might try a rental place that rents out tools.

Collegehillshonda has the tool out for loan.

collegehillshonda.com rents out the tool, but you may have to buy the net from them. Still worth asking them or your local dealer about it.

I saw that when I was looking into getting a cargo net. I wonder if a standard Rivet tool woudl work?

I wanted the cargo net but the truck tray seems to work very well.

Just thought I say that in case you ever want to invest in.

Oh man, I love the trunk tray. The first thing I did when I purchased my second car was order one. Keeps the trunk floor perfectly clean always! Oh, and you can't forget those all season mats!
