We have had many questions about how our Boot Buddy boot liners are able to stay up when in your car boot. The Boot Buddy is self suporting in as much as it stands up even when Not in a car boot. We always include a “Velcro” pack with all our boot liners should you want additional suport.
Some of the softer material boot liners, while being strong and often water resistant, rely heavily on the hook “Velcro” to suport them. On some vehicles the hook “Velcro” does stick well, however on more and more cars the “Velcro” does not stick. Obviously if it does not stick, the sides may collapse into your boot so you end up with no side and maybe no rear seat protection either.
Because the Boot Buddy is made from semi rigid polypropylene plastic, it is almost impossible to rip it or puncture it even when loading sharp or heavy objects. The added advantage is that the sides and back panel when in your car boot cannot collapse as they do not rely on the “Velcro” fittings.
If you are in any doubt as to whether your car boot lining accepts “Velcro” or not, take some of the hard, hook “Velcro” out and try it. If it sticks really well, softer liners should be okay, if however it does not stick then a moulded liner from the manufacturer, or a high sided, custom made Boot Buddy will be needed.
