So I was poking around my car and noticed a few of these things inside my trunk on the roof. They appear to be threaded, but it's hard to tell. Any idea what they are for (if anything)?

You must be missing the tool kit that screws to the lid of the trunk. Most parts in it are basic but you will need to get the tow hook that connects to your bumper which is included in that kit.

You can't really tell from the photo, but these are on the ceiling of the trunk, not the trunk lid. I already have the toolkit (sorry it wasn't clear from my photos or description).

Go to Ace Hardware and pick up the appropriate bolts and install your grocery hooks! Use Loctite and don't overtighten as i MAY lock up to the other bolt and then start to drive it out.
