Coming from an B8 A4 I use the grocery hooks a lot, perhaps a little more than i realized. Going into an A5 SB I now have nowhere to hook them to.

Where does everyone keep their grocery bags? Do you just let them roll around in trunk?

Those hooks wound up becoming the coolest feature in our A4 so I'm definitely missing them in the SB. I have no solution yet. I suppose one could drill them into the cover -- seems sturdy enough but there must be a reason Audi didn't do it.

Audi said that they didn't include them on the SB because the rear shelf can't handle the same weight ast the rear shelf in the A4/S4 and damage to the SB's rear shelf can occur.

The SB does have two side hooks, and I have posted pictures of them before. They are fairly useless however - not strong enough to support much weight. The cargo net has two thin D-rings which are intended for raising the cargo net (after unclipping the 2 rear hooks). Except there is no where to attach these to, and the net is too short. This area hasn't been designed properly, and my A7 was much better designed (and much higher quality, as you would expect) in this area. I use third party straps to pull the net up and secure loose items/small bags.
