Has anyone fit any luggage hooks/rings to their GEN4? I mean the ones that fit in a row under the side rear windows. I've seen some on the internet but they look like cheap Chinese stuff. Has anyone come across any decent quality ones?

Suzuki do some but at £150 for 4 I made my own. Yes, the Chinese ones may be a bit flimsy, but at £8 for twenty it may be worth a punt, or there are others at £17 for eight which have a higher rating. I would be interested in your decision.

Found these elsewhere on this forum. They look better. I'm not sure what size bolt i would need to go with them.

Axholme Lion.

The hole is 5.2 mm dia. so easy enough to drill out to take 6 mm set screw.

Soeley I use similar cargo tracks for my fixed fitted floor. Have to confirm, they are incredible, versatile and extremely strong. You have a lot of options being able to move points around or remove the clips altogether. great idea. the slight kink close to door was the only reason I have not fitted the cargo rails there, but as you have shown it can be done.

the eye bolts can be seen on floor and top right fitted.

That is very neat, I think the two combined would suit all eventualities.
The track bends pretty easily in the vice, just a bit at a time and keep moving the track in the vice. Plus because it is bolted through all five mounting point it is pretty strong and spreads the load across the whole panel.
