Default damn trunk mat

My trunk mat never stays in place. I carry my heavy book bag in the trunk along with some other stuff, and when i turn, the mat just slides around and folds itself up while at the same time scattering everything around. Is anyone else having this problem, how do i fix.

I had this same prob. What I did was go to a store such as Wal-Mart and buy these mats that go under house rugs and prevent them from slipping. This keeps my mat from sliding around. Hope it works for u

Purchase more velcro strips and put them in various spots underneath the carpet. Never done this myself but I think it would help a bit.

the trunk carpet or the Type-R trunk mat?

my trunk mat's rubberish underside keeps it in place on the carpet.. i'm not sure how it could be sliding around.. is something getting caught on it and pulling on it possibly?

i agree, never had a problem with mine either...but the velcro idea is worth a try though.

Hehe... wait, ask someone in Wal-Mart?! You guys must be living on Mars or something, the morons who work at my Wal-Mart couldn't tell you where the upholstry department is, much less make product reccomendations!

Buy the optional Type R trunk mat. It is pretty stiff and won't fold up on you at all
