Re: How to make your own Trunk lid mat.

To attach the mat to the trunk, I bought a box of Extreme Velcro for about $10 and used the entire box to attach it. I also stapled the Velcro to the back of the mat to make sure it stays on there. Make sure all the staples are flush and not sticking up. After you put the Velcro on the trunk lid, let it sit for a day so the adhesive part is at maximum strength or it may come loose and fall off. I've gone down a few bumpy roads and mine is staying on.

Here you can see where I placed all my Velcro.



Here is the Velcro I used. If you use the cheap stuff, it probably will not hold up. Plus remember to staple the Velcro to the back of the mat.



Here is a pic of my final project. My plan is to get a polished aluminum horse to attach to the middle using Velcro.
