Hammock inside a 110

We've all seen the pictures of hammocks hung from/between roof racks and trees

Or hung alongside

And occasionally even inside

My question is where do people suspend them from when using them inside? I've seen/read those hung up in series vehicles or van bodies are hooked off the internal panel lips, but is there a way of doing this in a station wagon without the need/risk of pulling the trim off?

In a 110 I thought you might get away with looping the one end over the top of the front row seat belt bracket, but where does the other end go?

Any thoughts/suggestions gratefully received 2007 - Stornoway Grey 90 XS SW - Gone

The lips between the side panels and the roof would probably be strong enough to handle a hammock.

You'd need to bypass the trim but that's easily removable / modifiable. Ed

I'd want to get the mounting at close to a corner as possible for extra strength. Then again light of foot I am not.

Possibly seat belt bracket to rear door top hinge (open door, attach rope close door).

I've also been wondering about how to string up a hammock...in a 90...!

Would this be at all possible? I'm 6ft tall, so the hammock would somehow need to be strung from the back door to the windscreen, and probably diagonally. Are there any fixings which would be up to the job? I'm fairly slim, so not a complete dead weight, but I don't fancy coming crashing down across the bulkhead or on top of the gear stick!

Presumably the sun visor or rear view mirror wouldn't be up to the job...

If it's a van body you should be able hook on the lip at the rear and trap the other end on the front door, but I don't know how low it would hang in a 90.

I've not had chance yet to look properly in the 110, but when I quickly threw mine down in the 110 it was to long to mount from the B pillar

Oh and the 5 year old managed to pull the rear view mirror arm off last week, whilst trying to refit the mirror the two year old had just pulled off, so I think that answers that one
