Included Mounting Hardware
This automotive accessory installation "how-to" guide was specifically written to assist owners of the 10th generation (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013) Toyota Corolla sedan in adding a Toyota OEM accessories bungee cargo net to the trunk.

Owners of other Toyota, Lexus, Scion or similar Pontiac sedans or coupes such as the Altis, Axio, Camry, Yaris, Avalon, Prius,  tC, G5, ES350, IS 250, IS F, G6 and G8 may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

The procedure should be the same or similar for earlier generations of Corolla vehicles such as the 2003-2008 models.

I purchased this Toyota Corolla cargo net with mounting hardware on Amazon.

The only tool needed to install the cargo net is a standard flathead screwdriver or a pop rivet removal tool used to pop out the black plastic "Christmas tree" or "pop rivet" friction fasteners.

Peel Back Trunk Carpet
First pop open the trunk and locate the two round black plastic fasteners at each corner of the trunk closest to the tail lights.

Gently pry out the two fasteners at one corner of the trunk with the flathead screwdriver or a automotive panel removal tool.

Peel back the trunk carpeting and slide the self threading panel clip metal piece of the mounting hardware on to the mounting hole near the bottom of the trunk.
