Securing Items in the Trunk?
Does anyone have any clever methods for tying down items in the trunk so they don't roll around? I have a box that I keep roadside emergency things in (fuses, oil, fire extinguisher, etc) and I can hear it doing cartwheels in the trunk while driving around. My previous vehicle had hooks in the trunk so I could just wrap a bungee cord around the box and be done, but not this car...

I've had these for years. They work reasonably well but if I got to do over, I'd go with something like these.
That base web would be a game changer for milk crates and such.

The box is a bit too heavy for Velcro.

I just put my wife back there and tell her to hang on to the box. Still hear a clunk once in a while.

Line the trunk liner with pile tape.

For groceries, I just make sure everything is in environmentally unfriendly plastic bags. Then I drape the handles of the bags over the edge of the trunk and close the trunk lid on them. They don't go anywhere. For other stuff, I use my boots as stops the way Ultramaroon uses those things he linked above. I have the OEM Subaru trunk liner, and my boot soles are usually pretty good about staying put as long as I don't get too far sideways. |

I have used something like this for several years. It's light, foldable (will fold flat), water proof and inexpensive.
