Default Recommendations for vert trunk lid liner

Looking for opinions from those who have a liner on the underside of the trunk. How well do they stay attached? I live in Texas and it gets hot down here. I like the look, but not if they don’t stay attached. Pictures would be great too.

Have one and love the look. Came with car. Double back tape and Velcro will not hold in heat, live in fla. tried several times. Ended up using four small black washer type screws that screwed into trunk lid supports. Have not come loose. Make SURE screws are not to long to punch through trunk lid. Do not recall size I used. Really finishes the trunk nicely and get the one with the logo.

Can you take a couple of pictures of how it is screwed in?

Here is my rear trunk liner... I bought heavy duty velcro with a 50lbs weight limit...when it gets that heavy duty, the adhesive is very strong and for the many years I owned the car, it never sagged or moved...and my car was only driven in the hot summer days...

I have the three (3) piece set & have had no issues with the double sided tape holding. Lived in Houston & the heat didn't effect the tape. Used a lot of tape making sure the surface was very clean. The trunk-lid item adds weight so I use the spring to help the pop-up trunk lid. Sorry, no pics...

I need to find some of that HD velcro because my liner is sagging in the middle, where its velcro has let go.
