How to Protect Wires When Taking out the Trunk Foam Insert to Create More Luggage Room

maybe put a strip of foam across that area.

 

I'd use something hard, like a piece of square roof gutter with one side snipped out. A soft piece of foam inside, maybe. Can't be too careful.

 

This is designed to protect wires, could you duct tape it in place?

I doubt that would be big enough. That kind of protector will usually hold 1 or 2 extension cords. There are connectors there that look like they are at least 2.5 inches tall.

 

agreed, jumbo is on drugs.

Just dynomat the area, cut it in strips along the wire, then put a piece over it, the dynomat will kill the new echo, proctect the finish and wires, and last forever.

 

I was going to say the same the same thing. Since the cargo area bare metal surface is already exposed, might as well put in some self-adhesive sound deadening material like dynomat, and use it to secure and cover the wires as well. After seeing the top photo, I am now planning to do this to my own prius. The photo shows that it shouldn't be too difficult, and the large metal surface area shown in the photo indicates that a considerable amount of attenuation of rear vehicle road noise might be possible in this area. Thanx for posting.
