This is a neat idea. Not being able to slide gear in and out would make me crazy though. Why not use something like these? Carriage bolts have rounded heads and won't snag anything easily.

That’s a cool idea.

what I’ve found is I have reconfigured my cargo boxes and whatnot, so being able to move the D rings I have around has been a nice feature.

View attachment 413479I’ve done this myself. I added D rings to the deck plate to secure my refrigerator and other gear.
I like the felt idea. Hopefully I can find some to match the tan color on the 2020 Denali. The countersunk d-rings are what I planned on using. I installed some of them in my work trailer, so I have a few left over.
Our plan is to tow the Denali behind the motorhome and put a cricket golf cart inside the Denali. So having some form of tie down ring will be very beneficial.

Thanks to everyone for the photos and info!

The one thing that has always aggravated my about my '17 Yukon Denali is the sloped cargo area. I put the third row seats down the day I bought it and have never put them back up. I keep an icebox for road trips and bringing back refrigerated/frozen groceries from Costco.
I recently "leveled" the front with coil over Fox shocks, 1.25" raise and the slope of the rear deck is even more pronounced.
I suppose the only thing I will miss is the little hidden compartment that is just right for an AR pistol and some mags.

Just a word of warning to all. I removed my third row about 5 years ago. Just went to re-install and all the holes are now rusted pretty good. Not a chance of getting the bolts back in without running a tap through them. So much for a quick install.

I’m guessing you did not install anything in place of the bolts you removed? Did you use any trans fluid or rust prevention spray?
Luckily for the guys down south and out west this might not be an issue the way it is for those of us who live in the “belt”.
