Default Keep things from sliding in trunk

I hate to have things slide around in the trunk area. I made a very simple solution with 3/4" x 3/4" wood with velcro attached. First I cut two pieces of wood 8" and 16" in length, painted them black, then glued three pieces of Velcro on them. Only two pieces are needed because you place the item to be held against one side of the trunk. To remove the sticks, roll them instead of lifting because that pulls up on the carpet.

It works great for beer but you could try it on your favorite beverage and other things.

Brilliant. Simple.

But, why bud? Really? Couldn't it be a 12 pack,of stone since you live down the street? BTW, if you haven't been to the Stone brewery, you gotta go. Get the wild boar ribs.

FWIW, I use a device purchased at Bed Bath and Beyond for ~$10 that is also held down with Velcro. Made some wooden partitions that help separate groceries etc.



Folding Carrier Sticks to Carpet or Fender Pad with Velco. Fender Pad is Used to Protect Rear/Spoiler When Putting in Golf Clubs etc.


Made Wood Partitions to Help Hold Groceries, etc.



Partitions Slip Apart for Storage When Not Needed
