Default Upper Trunk

Should there be carpet or something in the upper trunk? When you stick your head back there and look up it's just the bottom of the fiberglass.

Just bare glass on the underside of the rear deck
A strip or two of sound deadener can help the large flat panel be more solid sounding but I've never seen it as an issue

Do you think other folks will be looking UP with head in there, too????
Has anyone mentioned to you that you might have a 'touch' of OCD.... Let it go!!
Enjoy your car.

cough cough....
I did add another piece of material above where the carpet ended so the bare rear wall wasn't exposed when the window tray is lowered




But it's not OCD, it's CDO, where the letters are in the right order... like they should be !!!
