Wondering if there are regulations pertaining to the baggage area cargo straps.  It appears the thin strips are bolted to the floor of the baggage area, but could be removed/replaced without too much difficulty?  They get tangled and snagged on things more than I actually use them.  Would love to make them better functioning in use and out of way (invisible) when not in use.

Wondering if one could just replace with some type of quick link / fast attachment, or modify attachment points, and still be within regs; or if this is a federal requirement that they be in place and permanently attached/bolted to aircraft?

These are what I found searching:

https://mooneyspace.com/topic/15130-cargo-attach-straps/  Discusses just removing straps...pics have been removed.

https://mooneyspace.com/topic/13965-cargo-nettiedowns/  Questioning idea of adding netting and tossing around ideas of rail mount for attachment points.

My POH lists seat belts/shoulder harness for each occupant in the Kinds of Operation Equipment List, but doesn't specify baggage straps.  Only mention of the cargo straps in the POH is listed below and just shows how to use them.  I understand and appreciate the concept of load shift protection, W&B, and CG calculations dependent on fixed positions.  NOT trying to circumvent that.
