Velcro doesn't stick - boot
Hey guys, a bit weird question but hey hou....
has anyone ever managed to get a velcro that sticks to the liner/ carpet or side walls of disco boot? I have the 25MY and have bought and tried 6 different types, including some high quality velcro made by velcro to some cheap ones, but nothing holds in place, not even tiny bit...
Just want to hold some items in place or on the wall so it doesn't move and hit the sides of boot at every single corner...
Can you post a link of picture or something if you managed to find one?
Thanks a lot -

Gotcha Mike.
What I did on the D4 was to attach one side of a 4" wide Velcro strip (the hook side) to the side panels in the boot by drilling 4 small holes in the strip and pop riveting them on (you could also try self tapping screws or flat headed screws with nuts and washers), once they were loosely attached by the glue tape on the back onto where I wanted. The second strip (the hairy side) that holds the bottles and stuff can now be unvelcro'd and reattached without peeling the base strip off the panel....
You need both sides of the velcro for it to work, you can't just stick one half of a Velcro strip onto the carpeting or side panels, or stick double sided Velcro with glue backing...no matter what that advert says. The glue...no matter how strong...won't stay stuck to the carpeting material on those side panels for more than a couple of uses at best..
I fixed some fluid bottles and a fire extinguisher with riveted or screwed backing strips on the side panels...they were still there and working when I sold the D4.

That's a good idea, I was just hoping for less permanent solution...
I am not sure what is the material used but if anyone would tell me that it doesn't hold i wouldn't believe it
At least I know it's not only me -

For the D5...I got one of these things from Ebay. Which was fine until I realised I've got rear air con and the bag didn't have a recess to fit in to

I still use it for the same purpose..but now it's just shoved up against the back of the 2nd row seats...(with all the pliers and screwdrivers fitted to it)

Jeez, they've certainly went up in price...I put the link up without checking the cost. I paid around 50 quid for mine when I bought it in November/December last year
It's definitely well worth what I paid for it...but at 80 quid, even though I know how useful it is, I'd be thinking twice
Edit:
Just checked my Ebay purchase history...I bought it at an introductory Black Friday sale price in November last year, that's why it was cheaper

I'm still getting over the whole shiny torch cult thing that Narpy started...
As for side netting/storage...they also do those very handy things
I wasn't too sure about them though. Attaches to the window with suckers...plus the price.

Yea the bag looks great and will solve half of items flying around eg. Fuel can.
Looking at the pictures on the eBay link it looks like it sticks by glue/adhesive on velcro so not sure if that's good for temporary fix. But regardless of that price, it looks like something I am have tried to achieve with velcro only...
I was really hoping someone will just come and say I am using a wrong velcro and there is one that sticks and hold in place.
So thanks a lot for all ideas guys

You know what I really miss about my D4? The high level storage rack I fitted in the boot...the one that fits onto the rear grab handle mounts. I wish some enterprising Chinese dudes would reinvent one for the D5
Not mine...but like this one...

There are some, admittedly, very tempting modular boot rack kits for the D5...but the price!! £350+ . Would have to be another Black Friday sale before I bit the bullet on one.
Do I want one? Hell yes...
Do I actually need one? Of course not...but I'm sure I'd find plenty of stuff to put on it.
