Most Popular D-Ring for 2017 Volkswagen Passat

Seem to be sturdy, but the pivot bolt could have the retaining nut thread on further. Living in a salted winter road state, I substituted stainless carriage bolts and nuts for the zink. I wasn't impressed that the underside retainer plate had a hole the same size as the drilled hole I made in the floor and left the recessed portion of the ring body exposed to the salt. I cut solid plates out of 3/16ths steel plate, epoxy painted them and installed on the bottom to close that off. I know, this is just me protecting what I pay for, but I hate watching my stuff rust to dust too.

I ordered 6 recessed D-rings Monday evening about 8 Pm. They arrived Wednesday morning 10. I live in Northern Wisconsin, That's awesome timing and its just standard shipping with UPS. The installation was good, just make sure you watch the video- It helps! It was easier after the first one - I used a 3 1/4 hole saw, went down to 3 3/4 in. deep. Then chisel it out to the 3/4 mark. Helpful Hint ---- I used about 1 1/2 hole saw (take the drill out of course) then you use the hole saw in a circular motion to clean up the 3 1/4 hole down to 3/4 deep. The 4 carriage bolt holes make sure these are straight. But you can exceed the 3/8 drill size to give you some wiggle room. Which you will need to get the D-Ring straight. I will use etrailer.com again and again! Very very excellent product and service! Neil P. Wisconsin 10-15-2018

I put 8 of these on my trailer to strap over the tires on my side by side. Works great and doesn't stick up like e track. It was also convenient that the backing plates and hardware came with them.

I am completely satisfied with the product. However, I had two problems; 1. One of the metal baking plates was missing from the box. 2. The online video on installation needs to be corrected to reflect the proper size hold saw to use. The video indicates you should use a 4 3/8" hole saw; however, if you use this size saw, the D-ring anchor base will not seat properly. In addition to purchasing a 4 3/8" blade, I had to go back and purchase 4 1/2" blade, which worked perfectly. Small difference in size, but big difference in fit. The video recommends you be very careful about making sure the holes drilled are perfectly vertical, and they are correct! The holes in the backing plate are barely big enough for the bolt; so beware. The good news is that customer service was prompt and immediately shipped me a replacement unit, not just the backing plate. Once installed, this is one sturdy anchor and should easily handle my wife's new Polaris Ranger.

I have been looking for this particular type of product for a few weeks. I have looked pretty much everywhere I could think of. I saw this product and compared the price to other similar products. Given the lower price of this product I was a little hesitant to purchase until I read the reviews. I am very glad I read the reviews and am more than pleased with the quality of items received. I installed these on the sideboards I have on my Silverado (please see attached photos). I usually do not right reviews on products but felt I should take the time to review this one. Thanks etrailer.com for the excellent product and super fast shipping. David B. from North Carolina.

Exactly what I was looking for. Brand new v-nose enclosed cargo trailer without any way to stabilize items inside. All I was looking for were simple points to attach straps, bungees..... whatever, just to keep items from shifting. No real requirement for heavy-weight tie downs.

These things are beast, just the look i wanted for my off road mini camper im building. Very heavy duty, welding 8 of these on the camper. 2 on every side. Will be great for strapping down canoe and such on rack on top of camper. These are like what you see on flat bed tractor trailers.

Last project built. Used etrailer for almost all parts, 7 pin wiring harnesses, junction block, tail lights, jacks vent cover, D-ring tie downs and so on. Love the leveling jacks. Friend wants one now so started another one. I will be getting all the parts from etrailer...
