Trunk Lid Liner
I recently purchased the trunk lid liner from West Coast Corvettes, and when I installed it everything went ok, but the middle underneath the trunk latch sagged down a little, so I took double sided velcro a tried to make it stick with that, but was unsuccessful. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem and could give me some advice. Thanks for any help you guys can give me. :seeya

Re: Trunk Lid Liner (Z06Joe)
Sounds like you got one of the more flexible trunk liners. I don't know of a fix for this except for the velcro as you already tried. I had a trunk liner similar to yours and had the same problem. It stayed on for a while but eventually fell off. I sold it and bought one from Design Specialties. It is very stiff and it fits and attaches well. It's also the best quality I've ever seen for one of these.

Z06 Joe,
I have the one from Mid America and it would not stay in place even with extra velcro that I put on it. I finally went and bought a 1 inch thick piece of styrofoam. I then cut it into about 15 small pieces about two inches long and one inch wide. I used RTV to glue them to the back of the liner in various places. Then I used RTV to glue strips of velcro to the top of the styrofoam pieces. The next day when the RTV was cured I pulled the protective tape off the velcro pieces and put the liner in place. Now is it as solid as a rock and is not ever going to fall off again.

Re: Trunk Lid Liner (cruiz)
3M and Radio Shack make a locking Velcro which I highly recommend, I have used it on my Trunk Liner, Under Hood Liner and my exhaust plate. You can pick up the radio shack brand at radio shack...The 3m stuff I found at a local grocery store...I would imagine the local hardware stores would carry it as well.
Hope that helps.
