Quick Question for a newb!

The previous owner of my max took great care of the interior, it's spotless, however, the interior of the trunk needs a hand. The Main thing is the trunk board, the board that covers the spare. Correct me if I got the name of it incorrectly, I took a guess. Anyway, the board is warped from a probable spill in the trunk. I want to replace the board. Can I buy these separately? Or do I make one, through home depot or something, i.e. plywood or particle board? Can I get it out of a different material, like a hard plastic?

If any of these hold true. How about a website?

I also need one of those cargo nets, and the hooks to hold it in place. Any information on these will be appreciated, off for dinner, check back later.

Thanks
Silver

Is there in water in the spare tire well? You may want to check to be sure. I'll send you a PM.

The seal is fine, no current leaks or anything. You can actually tell it was a spilt item internally to the trunk in the past...as the board is hard but definetly bowed throughout the mid left side.

I was thinking it might just be easy to get a piece of particle board, plywood, or MD board, then use the old board as a template. Turn it upside down, stand on the board to flatten it, trace, and cut. I can easily transfer the plastic spacers to the same configuration. Then I could have a good flat surface in my trunk again. maybe even a stronger one.

Let me know of your thoughts. Thanks.

Do that. IIRC those things are like $100 + high shipping due to its size and shape.
