All this due to the weight of the wood.

Then he change it to some thin Plexiglass and did the same setup on materials and it is lighter and worked better and hasn't came down yet.

I agree with your concept since I did not want to drill holes in my decklid but i went with the Grand Design Mat. If I would have known he went the lightweight Plexiglass, I would have done that instead, but already too late for me.

Really hope it works out on the wood setup.

Do you know how thick of a piece of wood he used? I only used 1/4" thick and is pretty light. It depends on what type of Velcro he used too. If you use the regular cheap velcro, it probably won't work. If you use the Extreme Velcro, it shouldn't come loose. I let the Velcro sit on my trunk for a day and tried pulling on it and it wasn't coming off. You have to staple the Velcro to the wood on the backside of the mat also. I'm just guessing here but I bet the Velcro was pulling off the back of the mat and not the trunk lid itself. I edited one of post above and showed what Velcro I used. It's been on my trunk a few weeks now and I went down some pretty bumpy roads (not fun in the mach as you probably already know. LOL) and there I no sign of it coming loose yet.

Thanks, it wasn't too hard to make. I just started with full pieces of paper taped to the inside of the trunk lid and then kept adding paper working my way to the outside of the trunk. Then I just used smaller piece to make the outside border. I made mine with all paper first and then added the cardboard afterward to make it more sturdy.
