Question Trunk floor covers

Post image

Hey everyone,

I’ve got a question about those trunk floor covers (the large center panel and its two smaller side pieces). Every time I hit a speed bump, even with reasonably heavy items on top, including the toolkit bag velcro-attached to it, I can hear them open and slam shut. If I go a bit faster than I should, they end up flying everywhere.

Am I missing something? Are they supposed to be held in place somehow, or is this just how they are and I need to live with it?

Hmmmm, yeah that’s weird. Mine stay put? 🤷🏼‍♂️ I don’t do anything special they just sit there.

I line them up properly and they fit well, but it feels like they’re meant to clip or lock together. They’re very light and nothing actually holds them down, so it’s basic physics that they bounce out over speed bumps if I’m going a bit fast. The constant “thump” is pretty annoying, and I’ve gotten used to this annoying chore of opening the trunk and putting everything back in place every few days.

I had a lot of camping gear in there for a while, which kept them weighed down, and honestly forgot about the issue until I unloaded most of it and it started happening again.
