Setup and Installation
The Motor Trend Heavy Duty Utility Cargo Liner is designed for universal fit and requires trimming to match your vehicle's cargo area contours. Follow these steps for optimal installation:
- Measure Your Cargo Area: Before trimming, measure the dimensions of your vehicle's cargo or trunk area to determine the required size. The maximum dimensions of the liner are approximately 31.5" x 46.5" (80.01 cm x 118.11 cm).
- Position the Liner: Place the cargo liner in your vehicle's trunk or cargo area. Ensure it covers the desired floor space.
- Identify Trim Lines: The liner features designated trim lines. These lines are guides for cutting to achieve a custom fit for your specific vehicle.
- Trim to Fit: Using a sharp pair of scissors, carefully cut along the identified trim lines. It is recommended to cut less initially and then trim more if needed, to avoid over-cutting.

- Final Placement: Once trimmed, place the liner firmly on the floor of your vehicle's cargo area. The anti-slip backing will help keep it in place.
Operating Instructions
The Motor Trend Cargo Liner is designed for passive protection and requires no active operation. Its primary function is to provide a protective barrier for your vehicle's cargo area.
- Cargo Protection: Place items directly on the liner. The durable rubber material will protect the original carpet or floor from spills, dirt, mud, snow, and other debris.

- Anti-Slip Surface: The textured surface of the liner helps to minimize the movement of cargo during transit.

Maintenance and Care
Regular cleaning will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your cargo liner.
- Routine Cleaning: For light dirt and dust, simply shake out the liner or vacuum it.
- Deep Cleaning: For spills or heavy mud, remove the liner from your vehicle. You can rinse it with water using a hose or wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap.
- Drying: Allow the liner to air dry completely before placing it back in your vehicle to prevent moisture buildup.
- Odor: The material is designed to be odorless. If any initial manufacturing odor is present, it should dissipate quickly with ventilation.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Liner does not fit properly. | Insufficient or incorrect trimming. | Re-evaluate the fit and carefully trim more along the designated lines if necessary. Ensure measurements are accurate. |
| Liner slides or shifts. | Liner not fully seated or debris underneath. | Remove the liner, clean the vehicle's cargo floor and the underside of the liner, then re-position firmly. |
| Persistent chemical odor. | New product odor or insufficient ventilation. | Allow the liner to air out in a well-ventilated area for 24-48 hours before installation. The odor should dissipate over time. |
| Liner appears creased or deformed. | Product was rolled/folded for shipping or stored improperly. | Lay the liner flat in a warm environment (e.g., sunlight) for several hours or overnight to allow the material to relax and flatten. |
