I have a rubber trunk mat in my car, so the velcro on the bottom won't help me. Would adding velcro strips to sides secure it to side of trunk?

I have purchased several of these for members of our family. We have had no real problem with the storage unit moving around. When it is empty, just fold it flat, but most of the time there will be part of it filled and the base is large enough to remain in place.

Should be just fine, call Thule customer service for further info. I found that I needed to use small pieces of microfiber cloth on the upper arms to stop the marks left on the top of the trunk left by the rubber. Still the best rack I've ever used, easy on and off, very stable at any speed.

Only straps on one side (right) will be secured. Still, due the curvature of the upper portion of most modern cars' trunk lids, it would be difficult to remove the rack (the lid curves outward, effecively increasing the distance betweet the uppor and lower cables). With that, no system is theft-proof; the locks are more of a deterrent and inconvenience feature for a would-be thief.

I have a fiber carpet in my trunk and it does move around if you make a quick turn or stop. Best to have something holding it in place.

They do, however, you might need to puncture the floor of you car to insert the velcro because it comes with a screw on the bottom. My car was ready to insert on the driver's side but not on the passenger's side. I took it to the dealer to do it for me, but he told me this is a very easy thing to do. Anyway, the floor mats match perfect.

Velcro sticky-back tape has many uses....this could certainly apply here assuming you have vinyl or leather seats!! :-)

Mine fits nicely in my center console. I drilled it but Velcro would have worked. Just be careful where you place it because if you have to slam on the brakes or get in an accident you don't want it to fly around in the car.

I have put it on bottom near to car body. However, I would suggest to keep away from the body, it would probably cover more rear area.

There are 2 mats that come with this purchase however they're not for your trunk. They are for driver and passenger side. Hope this helps.

It has four small sections of velcro on the bottom of the unit, but they are insufficient to hold the box in place in the back of my car. It slides with the car's movements.

I also have carpeting and have no trouble with movement. However, I just rechecked my organizer to see what makes it "no-slip". I would say that the primary bottom material (my guess is vinyl) is not no-slip. The bottom border (all the way around) is a no-slip rubber-like material. My guess is that without any modification, it would slip on some plastics so it depends on the type plastic of your cargo liner. Some possible suggestions if it doesn't hold in place is to add a rubber tape to the bottom that does hold or add velcro. I guess for your purposes you could add velcro to the milk crate but I do like this organizer and am glad I bought it. I also have carpeting and have no trouble with movement.

It will work but make sure the rear section is held together with the Velcro tightly.

If you put carpeting over the wrap to protect it, it may work. It could start to break down if exposed to constant beating like one could imagine would happen if you are getting stuff in and out of your trunk.

It is designed to cover the cargo area behind the backseats. I use it with the back passenger seat down for my dogs, but it is about 2 feet short. I have a rubber tray-like mat down in the cargo area, so it works. The sides come with it and velcro to secure them. It is really easy to take in and out of the car.

I totally disagree. There is a 'webbed' material on the back that holds it in place on the seat....I'll tell you what compromises the effectiveness...seatbelts that don't immediate 'lock'...I had to swerve the other day and my grandaughters' car seat 'tipped' but the mat under it held in place and I feel it actually kept the car seat from tipping even further! I still stand by the use of my protector!

No Velcro on the bottom, however I have a floor mat on the cargo area of my CRV and the organizer stays in place all the time.

I also have a rubber tray in the trunk of my car, the carrier is well made with a nylon type bottom, underneath the carrier are two molded rubber strips approximately 1x3 inches with stippled points on them, small cleats to keep the bag in place. It stays where you place it with little movement
