The built in ones aren't tie downs. They are made to install the Nissan cargo net -- basically a (useful) grocery bag holder. All my Nissans use the exact same net.
Shameless plug to put this thread back on top for folks looking.
I just finished this weekend. Painted them to match (yea, I know. The paint will last all of 2 seconds, but it looked great when I put them in!). Great 10 minute upgrade.
Yea...decided to mount a bottle opener while i was at it.
These are awesome. Did this yesterday with some self-drilling screws. 2 in the same location as the factory ‘net holders’ 2 slightly lower I will post a photo later, should be a great height for a cooler or some of the Reliance water jugs in the rear.

For anyone in the future reading through this thread, if you decide to also add the "lower" tie downs, meaning the ones placed beneath the others that replaced the original crappy plastic ones, just know that the sheet metal behind the plastic curves in sooner than the plastic would lead you to believe. So, when drilling your holes, try and do it closer to the hatch as opposed to closer to the front of the vehicle. I went too close to the front and ended up drilling into curved sheet metal which broke several drill bits before I was able to finally make a hole and screw into it.
How are you guys organizing/controlling what you put in the cargo area? Right now I'm using a combination of bungee cords and an elastic cargo net and I'm wondering if you guys have come up with some better ideas.
Let's see them!

First time poster, long time follower. I have an 05 off road that I recently discovered is having a bit of a cabin heating problem. I noticed that when I am sitting at a light the vents are blowing cool air even though the temp dial is all the way up. I don’t start to get heat again until I...
I just purchased the Coverking Cordura Front Seat Covers. It had two knob, manual lumbar, and an option for side airbag or not. The 2009 Xterra has side air bags but I don;t think it is on the seat. Will me choosing the side air bag option affect the fit? Thanks for your help.
This is my setup for a cheap and low profile LoBo rack. I use the rack for clothes only (and some TP) so I wanted it close to the ceiling so it did not block my rear visibility. It was so quick, I went to Home Depot, got all the supplies and did it in the parking lot. Not the first time I have...
Hey everyone, I am hoping someone can help me out here. I have discovered a little leak that is causing water to saturated the headliner near the A-pillar handle and sometimes drip through the top screw hole area near on the A-pillar handle. It happened once when I was sitting in a drive through...
