    I was cleaning the battery fans and with all the back trays out, I found this hook thing just sitting on the stud in the back drivers side corner. What is it and am I missing something that should be there?

    I don't remember seeing a hook or anything else there when I had my PiP. But I bought it used.

    Maybe it's misplaced from something else and doesn't belong there at all? Doesn't look like it makes sense being there.

    I got the car used, but it came from a single owner when it only had 16K miles on it back in 2016. She worked at the toyota dealer it came from, and had nothing but dealer maintenance at 5,10,& 15K, and then I got my hands on it.

    So I have to think it came like that new. The only other tidbit, is it was the original dealer up to another dealer in Seattle area, where I bought it. Still can't imagine either dealer was in there at that mileage.

    And yes, it is a mystery.

    Yes, it's a threaded stud. The hook thing was just there, and it's not threaded, just sitting there. Weird.

    So........

    Threaded stud is used to attached the upper tray ( should be a black plastic nut)

    As for the hook, it looks like part of an Oem Toyota aftermarket cargo net used to hold groceries down.

    No plastic nut, doesn't even look like the stud pokes through. On closer inspection, there's the same hook thing used with a black rubber band holding the air pump in the tray. Must be an extra one for whatever reason someone else was in there.
