LS430 cargo mat change
The owner's manuals for '02, '03 and '05 LS430s ALL show a cargo net that fastens either to the four D-rings in the trunk floor or to the back two D-rings and to two hooks near the trunk hinges.
The Lexus LS430 cargo nets for sale on dealer websites and ebay show the net fastening at the trunk opening. I like this arrangement better, BUT my '02 LS430 doesn't have the requisite hooks at the top of the trunk opening (the '05 does). Do the new nets come with hooks to replace the "hookless" screws at the top of the trunk opening?

Go to ebay.com and enter "lexus ls430 cargo net" in the search window. There are pictures of the trunk-opening net "in action." It really is useful when you have a jug or two of bleach or vinegar (or bourbon ) that you don't want rolling around in the trunk.

I have one and it is semi-useful. Just don't put too heavy of items in it and also not too big of an item. Keep in mind that once this is in place, it does block somewhat the low opening of the trunk. You have to lift the items over the net so if you often load luggage type items, you may want to unhook first which only takes a couple of seconds.

So I was wondering where can I get the one for the floor from? Is this available thru ebay or sewell?
Thanks.
