Does anyone know of a floor mat for the underfloor area in the trunk which holds the jack & lug wrench, etc? It's just bare metal now, and could use a mat of some sort to protect it and make it more useful for keeping stuff there. Is this a DIY project, or can I get one somewhere?
I've never seen one for that space. Actually, you're the first person I've heard asking about that particular space. I'll look and post what I can find...... sorry for no immediately response.

I leave the plastic tub in...it takes very little more room than if you completely removed it. I've never found a commercial product to fit into that, but I purchased a heavy-duty commercial grade rubber backed carpet (4' x 3' size I think) from Sams and cut it to size to fit neatly into the bottom of the plastic cargo container. This is nice b/c it helps muffle some of the rattles of the plastic tray, it keeps stuff in the plastic tray from sliding and bouncing so much, and, I think, it looks a little better. I haven't had the 'floor' in the back for months as this additional space makes the usable height and volume of the cargo area much bigger.

The floor cover carpet is unnecessary if I to this. So I just folded it horizontally, with the rubbery side out. Laid it in the storage area, flaps coming up the sides. Makes a nice cushiony cover.
