How to make your own Trunk lid mat.
I always wanted a trunk lid mat but the ones you buy online require drilling holes in your trunk lid and attaching it with push pins. I did not want to drill holes so I figured I would make one myself. People seemed to like it and I was asked to do a write up on how I made my own trunk lid mat so I figured I would give it a shot.
What is needed: Paper or cardboard tape pencil 1/4" plywood 1/2" foam felt Spray adhesive utility knife jigsaw staple gun and staples The first thing I did was create a template by taping pieces of paper and cardboard to the bottom of the trunk to get the desired shape and size I wanted. After you get the template made, leave it attached to the trunk and close the trunk. Then climb in through the backseat into your trunk to make sure it is not going to interfere with the weather stripping. After you have your template exactly how you want it, transfer that shape onto a piece of 1/4" plywood. I bought a 2'X4' piece for around $10. Carefully cut it out with a jigsaw. Note the notch in the bottom left corner. This is where your wire harness runs and it will be covered later on. This is the 1/2' foam I used for the padding. I think it cost me around $15 I then glued the foam to the wood using a spray adhesive. Make sure that you glue it on the correct side of the wood. I almost made that mistake but caught myself in time. The bare wood side is the side that gets attached to the trunk. Let the adhesive dry for awhile. I waited about an hour. Then using a utility knife, cut off all the excess foam around the wood. DO NOT CUT OFF THE FOAM IN THE NOTCH IN THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER I WAS TALKING ABOUT ON THE SECOND PIC. You will see that in the pictures coming up.
