I think I will now after seeing a mates VE with carpet in the back and it stops everything sliding around, as im always loading the back up with bike and gear and pit tent n sh*t for racing, Im thinking marine carpet should be fine???

Next time I am out I'll have to check clark rubber and burnings to see if they have anything that can be used.I was also thinking that rubber would be good, maybe something about 5mm thick so it wont lift and slide.How did your mate fix the marine carpet so that it does not move around? Does the marine carper have a rubber base? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't be assed buying carpet and cutting it out to match the tray so went with it. All good. Comes with screws for front and you reuse the ones across the back.Doesn't flap, cleans easy etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hdj80 Member 76 Member For: 17y 9m 13d Posted 03/09/09 09:13 PM Share Posted 03/09/09 09:13 PM Well it isn't magic. It certainly helps as much as any product will. I don't have tool boxes etc in there so am probably not the right person to ask. The golf bag will still roll if I am being silly! But normal driving I have had boxes etc not shift. Give anything that isn't screwed to the floor enough G forces and it will slide I reckon!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came in either 1.8 or 2mt width so I just trimmed it to suit the wheel arches etc and didn't slide around, neither did any of the shopping or spare tyre and travel bags etc.Works great and looks good also.

I was thinking about a rubber mat but the adjustable dividers are working well for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
