Those hooks are surprisingly not available seperately. You have to buy a new OEM net. In that case you get the hooks and receive a spare net for free. :D

How stupid does BMW think their customers are? It's almost the same as if you would have to buy a new car when the ashtray is full.

Anyone else who found in the meantime a solution for that 'hook' problem?

I think that is obvious by the decisions that BMW makes.

I'm sure if BMW could pull that one off they would.

Many other vehicles use similar systems, e.g., Ford Taurus, etc. It's a hassle, but one could check-out some vehicles on a non-BMW dealer's floor and, when you find a similar hook, take a walk to the parts department.

By they way, I believe if the rubber-type coating on the earlier model's light switch wears off, the only fix is a complete new light switch... not replacing the knob.

P.S. I've used these on my motorcycles for many years:

Bungee Loops :: Aerostich/RiderWearHouse Motorcycle Jackets, Suits, Clothing, & Gear

Not sure if they would be strong enough, but I suppose one could take a hacksaw and file to them to change the "loop" to a "hook."

Just received this today, however it doesn't come with washer and nuts (actually this is stated in the instruction manual posted on this thread). I thought this was lame, why would they not include these little parts in the kit??

Ya, it's really dumb. I took it back to the dealership / service department that I bought it at and complained. They installed it for free for me.
