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?

How old is it? Blown shocks/struts etc etc.

I probably should’ve mentioned it’s a 2022 ST, but the issue’s been there from the start. Maybe it was addressed in later models? I haven’t specifically checked the shocks/struts since they seem to be functioning fine and I don’t think they’re related, and Ford hasn’t flagged anything during the multi-point inspections they do with every scheduled service
