Subaru WRX Folding Trunk Bag Hook

thingiverse

Update 1/14/2019: replaced the original anchors with a single piece that simplifies installation significantly. By making the anchor a single component, you can tighten the screws without struggling to hold the anchor in place. Folding bag hook designed for the trunk of the 2015+ Subaru WRX/STI. May also fit the same era Impreza, but verification is still pending. Along the edge of the trunk rack there is a structural member featuring a series of approximately 3/4-inch holes stamped into it. This piece secures to this member and provides a hook for attaching bags and other lightweight items to prevent them from sliding around while driving. Recommend loading the hook with no more than 25 pounds worth of items to avoid any potential issues. Required hardware for completing installation: 1. 2x 10-32 screw, 0.75 inches long, for anchors 2. 2x 10-32 nylock nut for anchors 3. 2x #10 washer for anchors 4. 1x 10-32 screw, 1.25 inches long, for attaching hook to bracket 5. 1x 10-32 nylock nut for attaching hook to bracket It is highly recommended to use a nylock nut to prevent the screws from backing out due to normal vibrations caused by driving. To assemble: 1. Press the nuts into the captive recesses in the anchor and bracket. They should fit snugly, but pop in place easily. 2. Align the hook so that the detent feature lines up with the mating pocket on the bracket. It shouldn't be possible to install it incorrectly. 3. Use the 1.25-inch long screw to attach the hook. You want it tightened just enough to provide a little friction when swinging the hook, but not so tight that it's difficult to move. 4. Slide the anchor up through one of the holes and align with the second. You should be able to get your finger through an adjacent hole to help guide it into place. 5. Put a washer on each of the 0.75-inch screws, then thread them through the base and into the anchor on each side. You may need to press on the top of the anchor with a finger from an adjacent hole while getting the screw started. 6. Tighten the two anchor screws just enough to hold everything in place. The lock nut should prevent them from backing out. 7. Double-check that the hook still swings and clicks into its stored position.
