I lined the rear of mine with 6mm ribbed rubber sheeting. I only did the bed and tailgate and left the arches. I used adhesive velcro from B&Q to fix the rubber (heavy!) to the tailgate, but after 1 day it dropped off. The adhesive didn't hold too good on the rubber so I used Evo Stik to bond the loop to the rubber, and the velcro alone bonded fine to the tailgate paint. Tyre holds the bed piece nicely so the whole thing is removable without a mark in the future.

Propper chuffed with it to be fair, the ribs in the rubber direct the few dribbles of water I get in, out of the tailgate nicely Thumbs Up

Thanks for the tip/advice about the velcro idea Martyn. Collected the matting from Bob today, so will be fitting it tomorrow (maybe Tuesday if the weathers not great).

Thanks again Bob, you're a gent Thumbs Up Mark
