I really wanted a cargo net like I had in my Nissan. So I ordered two rings from Ford, drilled the holes with a Dremel, and attached it with 1.5 inch washer behind it to secure it.

I like this. Which cargo net did you use? The Ford "Fusion and other Ford sedans" cargo net? Aftermarket cargo net? another car brand's cargo net?

Some Ford stylist’s version of upper hooks. I won’t attach anything to them because I am afraid of breaking the panels. I like the repurposing of the lower rear rings, but I still need a front ring. Any EU or CN market guys or gals out there that can get us a P/N? 🤷‍♂️🐩

In a separate thread on the same cargo front ring issue, one of the British MME owners replied that he verified his MME's two front rings are welded into the body steel panel behind the trim. Hence, no part # :-(

Looking through one of the Steve Munro videos, the one with the "body in white" walkaround, I think that I (we) can get a D ring or a U-shaped threaded hasp or some similar item mounted by drilling two holes in the steel body plate, threading four nuts (two on the cargo side, two on the wheel well side) on the U shaped hasp, backing the front and the back of the legs with connecting rectangular backing plates on either side of the plate under all four nuts, and then just cutting a slit in the felt of the trim panel. And... voila.

Maybe a job for next weekend... if it works out I'll post pix.

Huh, i thought for sure they just screwed it in. Bummer. I have seen rings in the past that have eyes on both ends for screws. I wasn’t interested in them t the time. Now I just have to find them. 🤪🐩
