Cargo Net Question
Just got the net and the special plugs. Now, since I'm having a hard time getting the plugs to fit, can anyone tell me which set of panel plugs goes on top and which on the bottom?

Damn, Mazda makes it so hard to attach options outside the factory.....

The screw goes to the top and the ones with stupid little rubber grommet to the bottom.

The person who designed the latter ones should be punished and obligated to install each and every one of them.

The stupid rubber grommet that compresses when you turn the screw? Ugh. I figured that was the configuration but wasn't certain because I was having such a damn awful time trying (and still trying as I type this) to get the bottom ones on. Thanks for the confirmation.

Moisten the grommet and gently (or maybe not so gently ) tap on the hook with a rubber mallet. Be careful not to damage the grommet.

I took a mallett to it too. It stays ok. However in hindsight, if I had known about these issues before I would not have purchased it.
