Hello,
Does anyone know what this is used for? There are two, one on each side of middle of vehicle just above the airbag lettering. Would like to know what the use of this is. Near back row seats. Believe it's a hook for something, but not sure what.
I tried that, it's too small. The cloth fits in another set of these over the trunk space.
I think by cloth, Matt meant the soft partition net. You’re correct that there’s also a cloth cover that covers the truck space and hooks onto the left/right mounts of the load space.
I installed the net and it uses the upper inserts (the ones in your pic) and the lower load space d-rings to secure the bottom of the net. IMO, if you have the ClearSight option, the load space partition, hard or soft, is a no brainer for the 110 5-seater.
I have to say it’s about the sorriest mounting system ever devised by the mind of man. It takes forever (often you’re in an awkward position with poor visibility) to get them installed because there’s absolutely nothing intuitive about how the soft-curtain mounts fit into there, and there’s not a good, positive audible click of something engaged when you do have them in. So once in I absolutely hate to remove them, which I have to do if loading something long and tall, like an appliance or Christmas tree.
Once installed I like having the partition (I do have Clearsite), but c’mon, didn’t humanity’s crack engineers figure out the mystery of quick-disconnect fasteners about a hundred years ago? Somehow JLR’s team seems to have never encountered a backpack or seatbelt or bracelet or necklace or any of the millions of other click-to-lock/squeeze-to-release QR fasteners in the world.
EDIT: I went out and searched to see if anybody had a decent video that showed the “trick” that I have obviously been missing the past two years of how to lock this fastener in to the roof. You can see here that even Simon has no idea how to make it work and like me, winds up with a half-assed solution that can’t possibly be what’s intended because it doesn’t utilize the fancy spring-loaded twisty cam-lock.

Its definitely fiddley and I tried to follow Simons directions but honestly the LR online directions made it much easier to achieve lockup, and after reading and studying the pics, it wasn’t very difficult.
I agree there are lots of other, easier and more intuitive, ways to secure a net. I will give LR credit for designing a quality product though. I was thinking this was going to be just an overpriced cheap accessory buts it’s actually well made using good quality materials.
