Boot liner
Hi,
I have a peice of wood and a boot mat that came with my car. It seems to rattle and pop out over bumps. Is the wood supposed to be there for the mat to attach to or just the mat over the spare wheel?
Its an annoying sound more than anything but i cant find clips or anything online to stop it happening or if the solid wood was originally there for the mat to clip on to??

Re: Boot liner
Just make sure wooden board is located correctly. The carpet should have press studs to attach to the wood.
I always had things in the boot so my board couldn't move

Re: Boot liner
It seems to have clips on the wood that attach to the rim but they don't seem to lock in properly and I can't find them anywhere onine and they seem impossible to bend back to shape lol

Re: Boot liner
Yeah the mat has those attached to the wood. It's the wood itself then attaching to the shell of the car. There's two metal clips but there mis shapenAndrew 2.8i wrote: βSun Oct 11, 2020 11:55 am Try these:

I'm surprised that the clips won't bend back into shape though, they're only thin pieces of metal.

Re: Boot liner
I was surprised to. I've struck them like iron monger and they seem to hold the bent shape lol
Re: Boot liner
By piece of wood, do you mean cheap piece of a sort of board? Wood is very generous. I guess it was wood once.Mrbaboon1985 wrote: βSun Oct 11, 2020 9:54 am Hi,

Re: Boot liner
Indeed I do. I can't find the clips that's are riveted to it anywhere and it doesn't seem to want to bend. I'm just wondering how others have prevented the rattle over bumps lolMajor_Tom wrote: βMon Oct 12, 2020 10:58 pmBy piece of wood, do you mean cheap piece of a sort of board? Wood is very generous.

There's no sound proofing in mine so a bit of clonking in the back is merely a part of the deafening symphony:)

Re: Boot liner
The `proper` floor has clips at front and rear to hold it in place as well as a 1" wide layer of felt all around the perimeter, to stop the banging of wood on metal. If yours is just a piece of MDF or whatever (?) maybe put some self adhesive felt/foam around edge to stop banging?

Re: Boot liner
I`m sure you could probably find something in B&Q that would work (cupboard latches?) - or maybe neodymium magnets off ebay could be glued to the edges of wood to hold it secure?
Re: Boot liner
Hang on, doesn't the bag of cement hold it down?!

Re: Boot liner
I reckon we should get the bastard how bout we swap his gear lever for a big dildo (yeah, we'll have to bring Jason in on it..... he's bound to have a spare we could borrow ) and seeing as how you live closer than me I think you should do the deed( just dont spend to much time fucking about cleaning stuff ....or fixin anything) that'll teach him to ruin our act
