Well well, these tiedown brackets are solid bars rather than hooks on my MY10 XC70 and are aluminium not plastic.
I can see the usefulness of hooks but prefer the positive location of a tie down of my solid bars. I have strapped loads to the side of the car by using one of the floor mounted brackets and a side mounted one. Heavy toolboxes are not good things to have flying around in the event of an accident.
