Messy Trunk

Hi

I have some stuff on my trunk like plastic bottles with liquids to clean the interior of my car, soap, windshield cleaner y also have a flash light, tools. Car chamois ect, well all that junk move around all the time making noises and every time I open the trunk is all a big mess.

I tried putting everything in a plastic bin and is not helping, the bin flip over and stuff fly around.

Guys what can I do to keep my trunk neat and avoid all that stuff flying all over the place?

Thanks

Alex

Use the luggage straps to keep the bin from moving around.

First are you driving a RX7?
if you are you need to do one of the following:
put it behind the seats
put it in the storage bins
buy one of those trunk organizer things
just don't leave that crap back there (my favoriite)
well there ya go, just my .02

The straps suck ***. I took mine out.

To keep stuff in the back from flying around (in my case; premix bottles, booster cables, etc) I put it all in and around the spare tire. That and the carpet keeps it snug.

lol... ok, well maybe you can tell me this... on the end of each strap there is a bit of metal with a slot. on the front (i think) there is a tab... and there seems to be no way to stick them together.... Oh... wait.... Are they even meant to go together?
