Hi,

Well im doing an install similiar to the pic below in my Girlfriends New Beetle.
But my problem is the boot comes in on an angle at the back its hard to see in the pic but it is a rounded shape but different angles where the plastic joins up on some bits.
So anyone know how i would be able to make a template of some sort?
I dont really want to get a big piece of cardboard and lay inside the boot and trace it from underneath and start abit further out from the trace and trim it down till it fits and use it as a template or is this really the only way.

Anyone have any idea's?



Cheers,
Scott

I take it tracing the carpet won't work?

I use the carboard method myself, but simplified. You just need a piece long enough to go from top to bottom of one side. Do the trace thing, flip it for the other side and use a ruler to determind the mid section.

Yor g/f is cool with you going to town on her beetle?

I think i drive it 90% of the time

I cant trace the carpet cause its not the same shape as where the MDF will sit. Its hard to explain. It comes up the back of the hatch and clips in. And it is about 20mm in from where the sheet will sit.

Guess ill stick with the cardboard idea.

Cheers,
Scott
