Are either the hard or soft x-trail bootliners good for stopping stuff
sliding around - better say than a blanket? test drove one at the
w/end and this sliding around was really annoying

What's the difference in the two? Dealer did not have any, can't see
them listed on web anywhere.

Not sure what you mean by hard or soft.

When I got my X-Trail, there was only one..made of flexible black plastic.

Does it stop things sliding around...No!

Does it muffle the noise somewhat...Yes

Does it protect the boot from dirt and muck...Definitely

If it's the sliding around that you are worried about, I seem to remember
that you can get some floor-attached cargo nets to prevent such an
occurrence.

Dunno, but in the boot of the Explorer I have a "Canon" soft rubber
bootliner designed for a Volvo estate. The "official" Ford bootliners
are only available in the states and although they are relatively cheap,
the postage is an amusing price.

Anyway the soft rubber "Canon" liner works really well. It has a raised
lip to contain spills and can be cut to size with a pair of scissors
(although I didn't need to cut it because it was a drop-in fit).

Nice and cheap as well, which is just as well for a bootliner.

Try Camelot-Automotive, Newcastle under Lyne 01782 663070. They do
lots of heavy duty and well made boot liners, cargo liners and whole
pick-up truck liners and lids.

I went to check the Entrail in their listing but their website is
down. Suggest you give them a ring. If they don't make it now they
will be able to give you a date for when they will be.

Hope they can help, Lurch
