not sure what there is to see, looks like the sca one, black, made of plastic/rubber/foam and has a lip about 3 cm high. it is form fitted to the contours of the boot

If you have a dog forget the preformed liners, useless (I find then pretty useless in general)

Buy a cheap tarp from Bunnings and run it up all sides of the cargo area

Will give a lot more protection, far cheaper, multipurpose

Had one in our GTI for three years and kept the cargo area as new

You can get pretty creative fitting it, I even had dome buttons to attach it to the sides

I hate cargo boxes in boots. Thought it was a good idea in our Forester and scored a Subie specific one off eBay

Used it 2 or 3 times and found it annoying (cluttering up the rear

I purchased a boot liner from a supplier in WA, on evil bay. 95 bucks plus 15 postage. fits well and rubber, very happy.

Just received one from EBAY, $65 it is made of the same foam type material as the cheaper VW one but the top is covered in a velour like material. Has a lip around the edge and is waterproof and fits nicely and certainly looks better than plain rubber or plastic.

Doesn't protect the sides - looks good though but what does it protect ?

[mattstar]

Never stated it protected the side, its a boot liner it protects the lining on the bottom of the boot from spills and dirt nice n simple

[Candyman]

Trouble is, spill a liquid on it and it is a pita to clean. Better off, if you only want coverage of the bottom of the cargo area, is to get a rubberised or plastic one that is easily cleaned.

[mattstar]

You are right a spill wont just wipe off but the benefit of this one is that it does soak up the spill, plastic ones will contain small spills but anything else will simply go straight over the lip the minute you take a bend or accelerate/brake hard. this one hose off and leave in sun for an hour and she is as good as new.

Has anybody got the genuine rubber boot mat? We specified "rubber boot mat" in our contract for a 90tsi wagon, and it looks like we've been given a cheap looking/feeling plastic thing. Even though "GOLF" is moulded into the mat, it doesn't look genuine (which we didn't specify) but the important point is that I doubt that it's rubber. The dog slides all over the back like he's on tiles...

Can somebody help - is the genuine article obviously rubber?

My recollection is there are 2 types of boot liners, 1 is a foam and the other is rubber. The foam version is the cheaper of the 2.

yep, i have the foam vw oem liner. its softer but mine doesnt have any golf or any other markings on it. it does the job, and at almost 18mths of hard use, its got no real signs of wear or rips and i throw heavy and hard objects onto it everyday

I have the same, it costed me a bomb but one thing I do like about it is the way the foam liner fits so snug and also has a rim all around it, where I transported something wet once, and water is just contained on the liner.
