Hmm it's cargo net .. you can get it from the vendor of this forum or Lexus dealerships. I'll take some pictures tomorrow.

Why drill holes? I bought a GX cargo net off ebay for $12. For the top loops of the net, put it on the cargo cover retract ***** & the net's bottom clips on to the tie-down hooks.

How about a photo of that too, please. It's hard to visualize what you are talking about.

Why drill holes? GX net fits & works great w/o drilling holes.

Excellent photo. I am going to see if my LS net will fit. Although then I'll have to get a new LS net!

EDIT: It fits! Your photos are great. We'll almost never use the tonneau cover ("window blind") but having the net there is great and no drilling required. I'll see if I can get my dealer to snag me a used net to go back into my LS. Thanks so much for the tip and the photo.

Ok I feel very guilty as I had the net installed and never sent the pics. The truth is I hadn't driven the car for 2.5 weeks. I never posted pics so let's hope this works. Actually, I just realized that I have no clue how to do this. If you send me an email, I'll email the pics to you. Mine are actually different than the ones yippeayea posted.

I actually thought of using the retractor ***** however I am afraid the ***** will break due to the elastic tension or jamming ... so I decide to go with the drilling solution and it's cleaner. Is it near what you have LexRexBlue ? Thank you

Here's where I installed the anchor ...

Yes. That's where it should be attached. You realize that when the net is attached you can't open the bottom little compartments. However, in 4 years I haven't missed them.

Great thanks ... I have a cargo mat that blocks the cover too but I still use the compartments. I store the bottle water in the center compartments and the left and right compartments for transporting red wine Perfect fitment !

I will need the 2 anchors....nets sold in ebay if used do not have anchors...

This is a valuable DIY, solves the grocery issue...

Is there a pre-designed anchor? Or are the hooks just bolted to the trim?

Was this an OEM Lexus option?

I just bought a used cargo net off ebay and now I do not know which way to go...use the cargo cover handle or get some anchors...and bore holes....

I'd say get the anchors if possible. The T-shape anchors are designed to hold the cargo net and drilling really isnt a big deal.

Anybody have a link to where the t-shaped anchors are sold? My wife's car came w/ a cargo net, but I've been completely confused about how to use it. This thread has enlightened me, but I have no anchors.
