Re: How to make your own Trunk lid mat.

That is a great idea. One of our Club members did that has well with his 95 GT. Did great for awhile and then the velcro started to come loose in spots and then while closing the decklid it would come loose and then trying to open decklid, it would be awkward and if not paying attention, it might come down, hoping it lands inside trunk floor or it might hit the quarter troughs and tear weatherstrip. 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.
