Default Trunk lid liner question

I like the looks of it but am concerned that some members indicate it doesn't adhere very well. Evidently you use two sided tape. I noticed Zip Products advertise "carpet fiberboard".

I would appreciate any comments.

My brother had one on his 02 ZO6 and he got tired of it falling and got rid of it, I have thought about getting one but don't want the same problem.

I agree, so take a look at this link for how I fixed the problem and then added my own touch.
If you started from scratch you are looking at the price of the new liner, plus about $15 for the materials, and any custom work. I used my standard liner until it started to sag, about two years then did the mod.
Sorry for the picture sizes, the original post is from before the Forum software change.

I used Velcro, industrial strenght and built it up where it seemed to be pulling away, have had it in the trunk for a year and other than giving it a push when I am in the trunk, it is free of worry. Has not fallen to date.

Default Velcro works


I had the double sided tape on my lid liner and it held up for about 6 months, then I went with velcro and it has held up well ever since, It doesn't even come down with vacuuming.

I added some 3m heavy duty two sided tape (up to 5 lbs)

also I cleaned the tape area's well with denatured alcohol, it leaves no residue, isopropyl leaves some nut also works.

Held up well, so far

I just installed one from West Coast Corvettes. I used rubbing alcohol to clean the underside of the trunk. WCC's comes with velcro. My only issue is that it seems to sag around the latch. I am going to add some velcro to that area and it should be resolved. I haven't had it on for long, but it has been holding well for the past two weeks. :
