Securing Sub Box
#1
I just finshed re-doing my trunk floor from that stupid little cardboard cover to a full sized particle board. The middle board section still can come loose since I need to get into my spare tire, so I don't want to directly screw the box onto the cover. What would be the best way to secure my box from sliding all over the place and still easily removable.
I was planning to do some carpeting in my trunk for a more completed look, however I do not know how well this will prevent the box from moving.
Thanks

Duct Tape. What do I look like, Red Green? Use Hockey Tape! It holds better, the black stick tape too, not that stupid clear skate tape.
I was more or less wanting to see a photo or something for someone else who has a massive slide (I know all boxes will slide, but not when you park in the drive way and the slope causes them to go bang).
It has the: Socks on a Hardwood Floor, siding effect.

I can;t say for out htere, but in BC if you cannot provide evidence your box was bolted down securely then insurance will not cover it should it be stolen. food for thought..
Anyway, I would use 1x2 strapping and make a 'picture frame' around the base of the box to keep it in place. Secure the frame your fancy new wood floor.

u could use a couple pad locks.... i was lookin at this before, get a couple of them like shed door lock dealys, bolt the U side into the trunk, and the flappy side that goes over it onto the box, its easy to take out if u get a flat, and someone else will have a bugger of a time gettin it out of they try to seal your stuff. just might have to be creative in how/where u put em to make it look pretty...

The picture frame and the padlock is actually what I was thinking of doing. The insurance benefit would be great too, my insurance provider doesn't know I have a system in the car but I guess it would be good to inform them if I premiums don't go up (5.3K / year is damn expensive).
I was thinking of putting down Door hinges to centre piece, and have removable pins to pull it out.
Thanks guys,
