Stuff doesn't roll or slide around so much, and it cushions things like the jack, tools, and emergency gear of all kinds.

I replied earlier that I used this non-slip shelf lining, and that it works very well. However, I used a beige colored liner. Where did you get the black color? If I can find it locally, I'd buy it and replace my beige ones.

Thanks!

Try the link indicated for "American Van" in the photo caption.

For a cheaper solution, visit neighborhood home stores, hardware stores, thrift shops, or dollar stores. It may take a little shopping because seldom does any one retailer have more than two or three colors in stock at one time.

If not latched, they rattle much louder than I thought possible.

Thank you. This info allowed me to stop the irritating hollow rattle coming from the rear of my (new to me) '06 RX330. The little lock was not pushed in on the passenger side, which is where the noise seemed loudest. I would never have figured a tiny little thing like that could make so much noise! Much appreciated.
