Looking for mushroom anchors for cargo nets

18008 Views 20 Replies 12 Participants Last post by  asjoseph
Hey, all -

I know this has been requested before, but I'll try again:

I'm looking for a source for the mushroom anchors needed to install cargo nets in the rear. I bought a net at AutoZone which came with some sort of mounting hardware, but I managed to lose the hardware before I got around to installing it.:17: So now I have a very nice net with no good way to attach it.

Does anyone have a source for the mushroom anchors that come with Subaru nets? Or, barring that, is there anyone out there with some extra anchors they'd be willing to sell?

If all else fails, you can just buy a 2010 Subaru rear net for $22.17 plus shipping. Two anchors come with it. Or, buy the 2010 side nets for $31.68 and get four anchors. Available from here: Utility and Convenience, SubaruGenuineParts.com

Go to page 2 for the side nets. The 2010 nets will fit all Gen 4 Outbacks. Just a wider web than the ones advertised for 2011/2012. And, these nets have the clips to fit the hooks at the bottom and the loops to fit the mushroom anchors at the top.
Thanks, bfoutch. I was thinking about buying the side nets - I guess they might come in handy. I was hoping not to have to spend $30-40 when all I really need is some 20-cent parts, but it looks like this might be my best option.
If we had a good picture of one not mounted (including the hardware) and the instructions, I am sure I/we could find a substitute from Lowes or a similar store. Any volunteers? Please? Thanks.

Good luck. However, these are specialty hardware items for auto manufacturers and may not be easy to find at a retail store. I have looked around Internet using many search terms and the closest thing I found was this:
Ford Probe Cargo Net Anchor Tie Down Part# F32Z-6142002-CC | eBay
I think the ford part is not a mushroom type anchor, i think it screws into something on the other side.

I suspect you are correct and this will not work for the Subaru. Also, look at the price. For two of these you could buy the whole OEM net with anchors. Thanks for pointing this out. Reminds us to be really careful when choosing aftermarket or other maker's parts.

Thanks. I was trying to figure out the reason for the name. It both looks like a mushroom and the fastener mushrooms out to mount on the panel. This is a great start. Thanks. :29:
I have two of these mushroom anchors that you can have, if your interested just please pay shipping. PM me your info.

Sorry. :( I did not mean to offend anyone. I thought he/she was replying to my post since it was the next one.
No problem, apology accepted.:) I was just a little surprised, since I made the original request.

In any case, I think I'll end up ordering the side nets, in which case I'll get the anchors I need. Thanks anyhow for the offer, catric69.
I just bought a 2013 Outback and the sales man threw in cargo nets like I wanted, but he did not install them, which means I do not have the anchors for the nets. Is there any way to get any anchors without buying more nets?
I was able to get the mushroom plugs for 7.00 from the dealer. They come as a set of 2 plugs so you will need one pack for each side. Easy install.
