PITA.
The cargo net requires drilling out 4 push pin holes, and then securing a rivet nut in each. College Hills Honda sells the tool for 100 bucks....I tried to make my own with a bolt, nut, locking washer, and a regular washer, it was mildly successful..... finished one before the bolt broke and cut my hand up good. I took the car to Inver Grove Honda in MN and I traded my last Guinness (from the work on my car day treat cooler) to a tech for installing the other 3 rivet nuts. Took him 5 minutes and he did not cut up his hand! It also took 45 minutes for the service folk to understand what I was asking for, and then they tried to figure out the quote..... ended up costing me a beer, but your mileage may vary. Inver Grove Honda is fucking awesome.
My suggestion? Trade a beer for a Honda tech to install the rivet nuts.
