mine was constantly falling off, finally went to Lowe's and but some hi tech, hi strength 3M double stick foam tape. All is well so far, has not come off this summer. The stuff ain't cheap and you don't get a lot of it, but enough to attach the liner.

Do you mean the aftermarket liner with the C5 logo? I pulled off those sponge like attachments on the left and right sides of the liner,got some of that 3M double sided tape with the red backing one inch wide.Cut out some small strips of wood about 4 inches x1x three quarter inchs thick.Applied the 3M tape to both sides of the wood strips,Applied the strips to the back side of the liner and the liner back onto the lid. I also did this to the area just below the lid latch.After doing this ,no more liner falling down. Hope this helps. LT

I had the same problem. the weight of the liner was just too much for any velcro or 3M tape I used
I ended up using 4 of the push pins I got from Autozone.
I drilled a hole of the correct diameter in the cross braces. Not too hard so it comes through the trunk lid. Popped the pins in and its been rock solid ever since.

I had the same problem as well. My fix was to remove the two large velcro strips from the trunk panel and used 3M mounting tape directly from the panel to my trunk lid. I left the rest of the foam pieces but reinstalled them with 3M tape as well. I went all summer and it's still stuck like concrete.
