Default cargo area matt for Q5

2011 Q5. there is a cargo matt in my car but it's a real slick plastic and anything i put back there flys/slides all over. Almost looks like the dealer armoralled it, its shinny/slick. I am not sure if this is a factory mat or aftermarket. anyone have any experience with different mats or does audi make a factory one if mine isnt that might be better?

I am also not very impressed with the rear cargo mat. The optional floor mats that came with the package are very nice and made of rubber but the cargo mat is the slick plastic as you described. It is fitted for the back of the Q5 very nicely (even has cutouts for the tie downs) but if was only made of the same material as the floor mats I would really be happy.

Interested if anyone has any suggestions.

Exactly. Surface needs to be grippy.

I picked up this from Canvasback.

Another alternative would be a carpeted mat.

My wife complained about the factory rear cargo mat because all groceries were sliding all over the back. I asked the dealer if I could exchange the mat for a factory carpet mat and they did it no problem.

Now her groceries stay put with the blocks that come with it. I recommend anyone picking up a new Q5 to ask the dealer to switch the mat before picking up the car. You won't be disappointed.
