What’s this threaded insert for in hatch?

Noticed these. Am I missing something? One on each side.

On my 2005 there is a post, kind of like a shoulder bolt, that screws in there for you to attach the top of the cargo net to.

Based on your photo it looks like someone took the hooks for the cargo net with them. Usually there is just a dimple there to start the hole. The hook looks like a "T" shaped hook that threads in there and it comes with the cargo net, as Doug said.

I'm not endorsing Amazon or the seller just providing a link that shows the net and the hooks: https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Tahoe-Suburban-Cargo-23132561/dp/B00LK32TQ4

Here is a thread from a few years ago discussing them.

Thanks I looked up that part, but all the websites charge just as much for shipping as the pieces.

I know for Ford you can order on parts.ford.com and they will ship to the dealer for free; is there an equivalent Chevy/GM website for this? I went on GMpartsdirect.com and they charge shipping and no shipping to dealer option. I may have to stop in the dealer and order directly but would be nice to have the website option...........

I would just take the gm# to your local dealer, if they need to order it they should not charge for ordering it.

Some dealers want your business. Take the price from the actual web site or give your dealer a call. Mine will almost always match an internet price if it's a reputable dealer you're ordering from.

Also FYI, GMPartsDirect also sells on Ebay. Prices are slightly more expensive than on their website, but shipping is free.

They are definitely not the cheapest game in town, but sometimes they have been the only place with the part I needed, so haven’t had much choice. Couple of items I’ve gotten from them off Ebay were still cheaper since the shipping charges on their website are always ridiculous.

eBay and Amazon have worked for me on parts. I've purchased ball joints, rear pilot arm rest plastic cap cover, Fox 2.0 front coilover assembly, vinyl for wrapping, fog LEDs.
There are more than one online GM parts companies. If you google GM parts you should get several options. Each has their own pricing. Usually similar, but I've seen some parts about 50% less on one parts site compared to another.

FYI - my haptic motor in my driver seat has failed. When my proximity alert goes off the driver seat should buzz, via the haptic motor. My seat no longer vibrates since this piece has failed. Not sure if that's the motor you are dealing with or if there is another responsible for moving the seat forward and back...

Find them to be very useful, always had them in our Montanas and so put one in our 900 too.

My dealer charges as much or more for parts as the online sites charge for the parts plus shipping so they get ZERO business from me.
