SQ5 Floormats/AC

I solved the items sliding around issue....
Like others, I would recommend Audi's rubber floor mats, they are very nicely made. And like others, I'd say not their cargo liner. That I find incredibly slippery, even though it is a perfect fit. Everything in the trunk needs to be tied down, or they will bang around every time you stop and go, and with the slowest turns. It is very annoying. If I had not ordered it with the car, I would have considered this:

But since I already have the Audi one, I didn't. (Please note that I have not seen this non-slip pad in person.)
In regards to the AC, (granted I live in Seattle) I find it plenty cold. During the last bout of 90°+ weather, the car cooled right down in less than 5 minutes, after sitting in the sun with the pano roof closed, shade open, for several hours. I have been paying attention to see if there is a need to get the roof tinted, but so far the answer is no, at least not in this locale.
There is, however, a thread here within the last month, in which a few members found that their AC system is not adequately charged, or leaking, or something. Once that is fixed, their AC complaints went away. You may find that interesting. I am unable to find it. Others might be able to help.

It's a squishy materal, that grabs items easily, and won't slide on top of the OEM tray. I also cut a small piece and covered the front area of the console above the ash tray, where I lay my opened sunglasses that used to slide all around, not anymore.
Just cut two pieces the correct width, duck tape the seam from the bottom, and nothing seems to move anymore...
It's cheap $12 for a 2 ft x 10 ft roll. If it gets battered then easy and cheap to replace.
