These holders allow you to mount desiccant packs in an out of the way location, so that you can keep your bed dry when sealed with a tonneau cover.
My tonneau cover (RetraxPRO MX) is mostly water tight, but not quite. I figured some desiccants would help cut down on musty smells or potential future issues. The Retrax is a cartridge style cover, so these tie down mounts are blocked and useless for actual tie down points. Therefore, I chose to mount the holders back there to keep them out of the way and off the bed floor.
I used these desiccant packs. 2 pouches is enough according to the manufacturer for the 5.5ft bed (52.8cuft/395 gallons), but I chose to use 4, two on each side.
I printed my holders out of PETG with 0.28mm layers and 4 perimeters for impact resistance, if they do get bumped by cargo. The holders are designed to be mounted with M6 socket head cap screws, I used 16mm length.
You can mount the holders with only two screws and they are plenty rigid. The tiedown points are unthreaded from factory, but an M6 tap cuts the threads perfectly in the existing holes. (I believe most tie down mount kits come with self-tapping screws)
