My spare tire lid (I don't know the exact name) has been warped/imploding/sinking in the trunk. Does any of you have replaced this? I looked at Weather Tech trunk liner, but it's wopping $100!! I was thinking of making this out of ply would myself, but I am afraid it is not worth the effort.

 

Mine has also warped under the weight of my subwoofer box. I have not done anything about it yet.

 

1/2" mdf. cut it the shape of the carpet...use that as a template. u might want to cut it 1-2 inches smaller all the way around, that way the wood isnt shown under the carpet. just an idea, good luck!

 

That's the idea, but it seems like a hassle. I don't have a garage or workshop. I wonder if Home Depot can cut this for me if I bring a template...

 

Home depot usually does not cut any mdf or particle board. Apparently, they don't want to be sued for their employees illnesses as a result of them inhaling whatever particles which are released into the air when these types of boards are used.

 

Lowes cut MDF board for me (that's what I used in my trunk, 3/4" MDF board, but I'm thinking of changing it with some substantially thinner board, since that MDF board is HEAVY and really adds to rear suspension sag)... Home Depot would have cut it too, but their people were a bunch of slackers, so I drove over to Lowes instead.

 

i thought home depot only cuts lengths and widths? who knew theyd cut out a template...either way, a $40 jigsaw is always good to have around...good luck!

 

when I bought my car, the trunk lid was already sinking... that sucked, are you guys talking about that lid? if you are how much is it at to have it replaced? is the MDF board (dunno what that means sorry about the noobness) the trunk lid, and whats the measurements for the lid? I appreciate it.
