Took delivery of my mk4 estate yesterday - so far, so good! First 'accessory' purchase will, I think, be something to give a bit of protection to the floor and sides of the boot space when carrying loads. Anyone got any recommendations for good-quality, reasonably-priced boot protectors made to fit the car? (Or any suggestions of ones to avoid!)

This is mine - for phev estate - ordered with car from dealer and fitted by dealership. It has some velcro underneath to prevent movement and slides / lifts out.

Looks good, but what I'm looking for is something which has some protection for the sides (and ideally the back of the rear seat) as well as the floor.

There is no OEM accessory like that for the trunk.

My suggestion would be to look for a trunk cover for dog.

Skoda has it for the rear seats only, maybe some pet related companies would make similar items for cargo area?

I know, that's why I'm looking for recommendations for aftermarket ones.

There are plenty out there. Lots. Which makes it difficult to pick one sight-unseen. That's why I'm asking whether anyone who has one can perhaps share their thoughts, positive and negative, about what they have.

No-one can recommend anything suitable?! 😲

I am also searching for the boot protector that will allow me to have the boot floor set in the lower position (TDI estate).

Bought this one together with my car (estate TDI), and just want to warn a potential buyers:

The protector is basically just fine, but there is one catch!

You can use it with the boot floor set in the UPPER POSITION ONLY which means if you are in the (unprepared) situation when boot protector is in your car (estate with variable boot floor) and you want to transport anything that requires a lower position of the boot- you are in the trouble. The protector can't be fitted into the lower position so there is a gap between it and the boot floor.

The protector position presented here on picture is just not achievable, it is at least ~10 cm higher and stays "in the air".

Just to mention that I selected the right version of the product (boot floor protector for the estate with the variable boot floor), already contacted my dealer and they confirmed they delivered the right product. A dealer is not really motivated for refunding it because it came together with my car and is on the same invoice, which now makes the situation even more complex.

I am now searching for the alternative- a boot protector (official or not) that I can use with both upper or lower boot position and ideally, that will not cover holes in the boot so I can use the ALU partitions.

Any recommendation will help 🙂

The boot protector you have has clearly different shape toward the chassis strut/profile where the rear bench folds.

Show the your picture and make a claim. It is different than the one from official Skoda photo.

Hello Jack, thank you for this detail.

The image from my last post was copied from the mccrosss's post above, but yes, it has the same (wrong) shape, different from the Skoda's image.

Will check it with the dealer, I would say someone did a mistake.

BTW- is there anyone here with the boot dish that fits the the lower-positioned floor, that would like to share me a photo (and the product number from the sticker)?

I would just like to see the photo from the real customer since that all Skoda's images I can find on the internet are the same for all protector versions.
