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.

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.

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.

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.
