Hey gang,
I'm looking to add some brackets to the inside of my rear windows to hold some gear and a small molle panel to get stuff off the floor and out of the way.
I saw this image and thought the coat hooks must be bolted on, but they're not. It's just a (really pain in the butt) plastic clip to an odd-shaped hole. The idea is to make a bracket from the coat hook points to a piece of strut channel that would connect to another bracket at the bottom of the window. Anybody mounted something like this and how did you do it? My guess is a bolt with a captive tab that just fits into the square hole and clamped down by the outside bolt (which is why you see the threads sticking out below), but wanted to see if somebody figured this out already before I re-engineer something.

The setup above (from Orangeboxx - https://www.orangeboxxfabrication.com/online-store/Chevy-Suburban-Gen-9-2000-2006-p166145451) looks like it just screws into the plastic below the window, which I'm not thrilled about. I was looking to mount some heavier items with some quick fists (fire extinguisher, axe, etc) and don't want them flying into my head. Thinking I'm going to put some threaded spacers behind the plastic to the body metal and attach to those, but again, looking to see if somebody has already solved this before I start another McMaster order...
Thanks- Marc
