PS I have an old version of RivNuts (inserter is a pop-rivet gun) if you want to borrow the kit (and I can find it! )
A2006 D3 finally swapped for a 2016 D4 Graphite in Graphite grey. No mods

Andy - I have been ruminating about this for some time and intend to try four of these extremely strong magnets you can get these days, in association with a couple of retention slots to prevent vibration / G-forces causing it to drop off. Not even reached R&D yet, but will e-mail you a sketch if interested. Even the tiny magnets pull about 12kg
Andy
you'd probably need a winch to pull those off then
