Default Trunk apolstry protection

Anybody have any ideas for extra protection around the trunk apolstry etc? I keep a wheelchair back there that while I try to keep it from moving around does bang around from time to time or while taking it out...

Thanks!

Sounds like you're primarily concerned with the backs of the seats and the sides, but a cargo mat will definitely help on the flat surface.

I have a weathertech mat in the trunk to protect the carpet. A couple of bungee cords will reduce the chair sliding around.

I bought a cargo net on ebay for less than $10. It lies flat when unused and stretches to hold groceries, cases of beer, etc. Search ebay for "Zone Tech Cargo Net 4 Hooks".

Thanks all. I'm putting my 09 BMW 535XIT wagon up for sale finally and I'm looking at the CPO A or S 7's. I use a rollator to get around (walker with wheels). Mine is the side of a wheel chair when folded up, so I'm in the same situation. I've been using an all weather deal in the back of the wagon and it's worked GREAT. Not the feel of the carpet, but it's MUCH better in use, lol. I have not even had to use the tie downs in the trunk, but the rollator will move on occasion, so that's a great idea if I get the Audi. Now I have to figure out if the S7 is worth the extra cost and maintenance as I'll be owning it for many years. Thanks.
