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.

He did use a 1/4 inch wood but has for the Velcro, he used the 3m brand.. What I think what happen since it is his daily driver, Wood will collect moisture has time goes by and if enough moisture the wood will weigh a little heavier and that might been the issue but who knows it could have been the velcro. He stapled it has well so who knows probably the velcro.
