Cargo area help!

godi — Fri, 23 Jul 2021 13:03:42 GMT

The back of my Toyota came with a mat well everything flies around. It's crazy. I opened the back slowly and a case of water came flying out! Any suggestions to make the area a little less slippy or dangerous really. There is no carpet under this mat only a thin piece of something covering the extra wheel area. Any replies greatly appreciated. ❤️🙏

Any interest in those trunk bag systems, like the Q sells?

If not, you could use one of those suction cup tub mats.

What about that rubber shelf liner that you can get in the dollar store?

I bought a cargo net for my Jeep. It does a great job of keeping items in the cargo area when I open the back hatch.

@godi ...............I agree with the poster newernickname. A cargo net is the answer to your problem.

I bought a new Suburu Forester last year and the cargo net that I took from my former Forester doesn't fit (too small).

I would be happy to mail it to you if you would like it.

I solved the slippery surface in my Forester with a rubber -backed rug. Bonus that I can take it out to clean it. I also use the trunk organizer as mentioned by others.

Might have to ask how fast do you drive that cases of water come flying out when you open the door. 😁

Non skid rug might work. Our SUV is carpeted and I haven't had any instances of flying water.

Thank you all for replying. Some made me laugh. I have the cargo thingys you put stuff in. The bin thing QVC sells. That even moves around with stuff in it! The water fell out cause it slid towards the door and the bins pushed it. Nothing stays still on the mat. No hooks to put a net. I have two from previous vehicles. Oh well I will figure it out. Thanks again all.

@godi

How about Command hooks to secure a net?

My neighbor has a Weathertech no skid cargo protector in his SUV. Ordered it after seeing it. Such a shame the one that came in the car is dangerous. My DH put his tool boxes in the back of this car and they even slid around on the mat. They gotta weigh 50 pounds or more. Thanks again all. I love this community. ❤️🙏🥳

Weathertech is a great idea. My cargo net for my SUV does not really help. It is too stretchy.
