Default Trunk lid liner

My trunk lid liner keeps falling down now. The velcro tape isn't cutting it. I am thinking about trying to screw it with short screws to the ribs of the trunk lid. I figure it wouldn't take many. It would be just to assist the tape. Has anyone else tried this?

Be Careful.It cost me $500.00 to fix the hole in my trunk.The velcro supplied isn't worth a ____.The body shop that fixed my hole used their own formula,and now looks great. You may want to try silicone as suggested.

The link above is my DIY Liner.

I had the same problems so I drilled 4 holes for the studs in the V Beam. It now holds on nice and tight. I got the studs at Autozone.

Just be very careful not to push too hard on the drill and come through the trunk lid.
