Ply lining advice required

Hi all,

Looking for advice on options for securing the top half of the rear quarter panels so it's not all in one piece,

Pictures to show what I'm trying to achieve

Daft.. Stupid suggestion no 1.......

Wide section of Velcro? All around edges etc?

Not stupid at all. Good Velcro will hold so tight you'll not be able to pull it off without some decent effort. Will be fine.

I suppose that's one of those simple ideas things.. Cheers

A 10cm strip of this is good for 7kg. It's mega strong. Don't use too much if you have any aspirations of ever being able to remove the panel

I used it to Velcro a table to my shed wall as storage. Come to think of it, might Velcro a picnic table to my tailgate as storage

I've got some full height OEM panels for sale if you wanted to go down that route?

@hwd612 thanks for the offer but I think I'm steering more towards 2 separate pieces

Get a big cardboard box ( bike box from Halfords) they want rid. Open it out & make yourself a template. Put on wood, draw round & jigsaw out. If you take your time you can do a really good job.

I'm happy how to make the panels, it was the best way to secure them to the top half of that section, obviously you can't you hidden clips

Velcro sounds the best idea so far, still thinking though......

What about a small pop rivet? Carpet over after you have put it in the hole, might be a little bit of messing about to get the carpet over the long thin bit. But three down the middle. The middle bit between the sound deadening/thermal lining will take three , top middle & bottom????

Just a thought

On the picture with the green circle I see the wheel arch looks like it has an extension cover over the jack. I can't see a join but guess it opens up. Looks nice, is that someone's custom mod or can that be bought.
