Was going to order a trunk liner from Wolfsburg West, 36 bucks, not too bad...however, the shipping is more than the liner itself....does anybody have a pattern / dimensions for a trunk liner. Figured I could make it myself. Or maybe a cheaper place to order one from? Your input is appreciated.. Smile

Yep, I ordered mine from WW and the shipping was about the cost of the liner but then I wanted it.

Since your willing to make it yourself get a pile of cardboard and some scissors, and maybe some tape. Search the galleries for "trunk liner". That way you can see what the end product should look like while you cut a template out, fitting it to your own trunk

This is just one of the pictures from the search "trunk liner" in 58 and up Sedan.

Just wait till you need a bunch of stuff which helps on the shipping. That is what worked for me. The Wolfsburg West trunk liner is the best for sure.

I keep a running list of parts I want so when I do need to order something specific I can add other stuff to the order to cut down on shipping.

I don't know how they ship these, but can we assume it can't be folded, so it takes a good sized box to fit it? That would mean it comes in a box mostly filled with air and you are charged for volume, not weight?
