Hello all. I am a new member here because my uncle recently bought an Si. I have been a member of VWVortex for several years now and have looked on this website occasionally.

I have a question for you all. My uncle bought the cargo net today from College Hills Honda here in Ohio and was reading through the instructions (instructions found here). He was noticing in Step 5 that it requires a special tool to install the rivnuts. The question he and I both have, as we would like to do this ourselves, it whether or not this tool is available anywhere? Or, if someone has already installed this, what did you use? Thank you for your time and allowing me to be a member of your board .

 

i did this install in my 02 civic si and we had to drill out the holes

i just used a pin to mark the holes, self tapping screws and than followed the directions

its not very hard

and WELCOME

if u wanna wait i ordered mine today for my 06 si
i'll post up how to pix

 

mcmaster carr seels the tools.

or you can try to "borrow" one from a dealer.

maybe a tool rental place has it.

 

You can also use a long bolt with the same size threads. Put a nut on the bolt, Then thread on the rivnut. Now start backing off the nut you put on first. When it reaches the rivnut it starts to collapse it.
