In modern passenger car models, the rubber mats inside the trunk fit snugly against its walls. And in order to get to the underground, where various little things are usually stored (tools, pump), spare wheel, etc., you have to constantly pry the mat with your finger, which is not very convenient.
Therefore, the author decided to make a small device with his own hands, with which it will be much easier to lift the mat with the substrate.
To make this device, you will need three aluminum plates and a strap, as well as a half ring and a hook. Thanks to the hook, the boot floor can be locked to free your hands.
The main stages of work
The first step is to get the rubber mat out of the trunk. Then, in the right place, the author with the help of a clerical knife makes a slot under the strap.
Next, from the inside and outside of the mat, you need to fix two aluminum plates with stainless steel screws. And a strap is attached to the third plate, and it is installed under the substrate.
At the last stage, the substrate and the rubber mat are installed in the reverse order, but in a modified form. The idea itself is quite suitable, and it can come in handy for many, so take note of it.
