Retractable cargo cover mounts
As not to take my other thread off topic, I've created this one.
So I've got hold of a cargo cover for my 95 XJ. I do plan on getting the fabric changed at some point to match my interior as it's tan and mines grey. My issue is I only have one of the 4 mounts to use it.
I've modeled and printed one for behind the rear seat but now I need to work out at the other end.
My issue is working out how to model the rear ones, especially the one by the spare wheel.
This one will be fairly easy as the cover comes close to the screw holes.
This one has a bit of distance to travel and it would put a lot of strain on a 3D printed part.
If anyone can provide any pictures of how this is supposed to mount it would be really appreciated. Thanks to Ralph77 who provided some images in my other thread.

So a thought just came into my mind... Does the cover's end pull out to hook in around the wheel... The answer is yes. I've been trying to think this one through for days then just as I make a thread I figure it out.
Regardless, I shall keep this thread updated with my progress. For those who take interest, here's a link to the mount that I have designed: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3259716

So here's the result.
The rear pieces aren't the best and took a bit of modification after printing to fit. I'm happy enough to use them but there's no point in uploading them to print as they don't fit fresh off of the print bed.
Overall I'm rather happy with the result, for now at least.
