My back carpets were crappy so out they came.

Then I went to the Home Depot and bought that interlocking foam that you put in your gym or kids room.

Made a template.

Marked it with a sharpie, and cut it with a utility knife.

Loosen the trim pieces. Install. Tighten the trim pieces back up. Put tire back in and $15 later you have a nice cushioned back cargo area that can be wiped clean.

Thank you. i was tired of smashing my knees on the metal getting in and out; AND i just got a new dog, and he can ride in comfort and not slide around. Oh, i guess tools won't slide around either!
