Thanks. My particular (non-OE) table leaves the silly "accessory ready" trim panel nearly completely exposed, and that's a decent way beneath those rivets...so I'm guessing I'll be in good shape.
I only have the driver's side completely installed at this point, but yes - having the same issue. Oddly enough, it currently appears as if the passenger side might be better, but I'll let you know once I get the floor brackets installed.I received my trunk on Friday 03/28 (ordered it on 03/03). Did not come with carpet, but they have added gas struts to the setup (see pics below). It appears (I haven't tried one without it) to make it easier to fold up and down by holding the entire assembly up. Carpet is now available to buy separately on their website ($150).
I added the Ford tie-down rings so I could use my cargo net, so I purchased 4 additional bolts (they are allen key head and M8x50) from Ace Hardware to setup the tie-down rings. However, I found that in order to fold the trunk completely down, you have to move the back tie-down rings completely sideways (see my photo #2). So I only used 1 bolt on those two rings and I put the bolt through the back of the tie-down ring only, so it spins completely out of the way for the trunk to fold down. I ended up only using 2 additional bolts once I figured this out. I put plastic washers underneath the tie-down rings, so I can spin the back tie-down rings sideways or back straight if I want to. I was able to cut-up my Mabett trunk mat and make it work with the setup.
The soft top brackets did NOT line up properly for installation. Took me forever to get that to work. Had to push the side panels in/out and back/forth, install the bolts at an odd angle, and finally got it to work. I think I installed the OEM bolts at the top first and then bolts onto the panel itself. See my photo #3 where the bracket isn't level and the bolts in the side panel are crooked. Anyone else have problems with those soft top brackets or did yours line up properly? I think they need to adjust the placement of the holes in the soft top brackets (mine was about 1/4" off). It's also possible there is variance in the soft tops once they are installed, so they should have a wider hole for the OEM bolts to allow for variance side-to-side (same as the holes in the bracket for the side panel have variance in-and-out).
Soft top opens and closes without any issues. As for golf clubs, a full staff bag will not fit unless you fold the trunk flat and put a seat down. I am able to get me cart bag and my wife’s stand bag in laying diagonally with the trunk in place. Hope this helps.
