    In the cargo area there are 4 hooks, loops- one at each corner
    (see picture - that I am borrowing to show- in photos section - upper left and upper right corners-

    My other half says they are to connect bungies to, to hold things. Is there a cargo net to attach to them (the hooks) to hold things? Not the Cargo net that attached just the the back end but one that covers the entire cargo area??

    Or is there another use for these hooks?>>>

    The car will be at the San Diego meet on Sunday, so maybe we can discuss..

    Main purpose is to use the straps that are included with your car to strap down your full size wheel while running temporarily on your reduced size spare if you have a flat.

    Otherwise, use your imagination and creativity. And yes, the cargo net attaches to the back-most two.

    There are other cargo nets available aftermarket as well -

    They're great for holding things down that might roll around in the back, especially if you have the seats down and are worried about them moving at a sudden stop.

    I've also heard that folks use the hooks for bungies to secure pet crates.
