The Art of Measurement: Getting the Perfect Fit for Your Sub-Trunk
Whether you’re looking for a heavy-duty organiser or a life-saving spare tyre kit, the secret to a secure fit lies in one thing: precise measurement. Most "hidden" storage compartments beneath the boot floor aren't simple rectangles—they are complex, tapered spaces.
Step 1: The "Real" Footprint
Empty the space completely. Don't just measure the opening at the top; measure the base width and length. Most compartments narrow significantly toward the bottom, and your gear needs to sit flat to avoid rattling.
Step 2: True Vertical Depth
Place a straight edge across the top of the opening and measure down to the lowest point of the floor. Ensure you have a few millimetres of clearance so your boot lid can close perfectly flush without any bulging.
Step 3: Survey the Curves
Vehicle manufacturers often tuck cables or mechanical components into the corners. Check for any protruding humps or rounded edges that might interfere with a square box or a round tyre kit.
