I finally pulled everything out of my rear cargo area. I have removed the rear cargo liner and have it sitting on a big piece of cardboard to trace it for making a "pattern" to take to get plywood cut since the cargo liner is a bit bigger than the floor.

I just went back to the review the thread with my "how to" question.

I have a new question:
What is an: asymmetrical hexagonal shape ??

Thank you VERY MUCH, Jamie

if needed, here is link to original thread that I am referring to:

Jamie-

If you're tracing the cardboard to cut the plywood, just trace out the exact floorspace of the rear cargo area.

When I did mine I did not have access to anything more than a table saw to cut my plywood, nor do I do a lot of woodworking, so straight lines worked best for me.

Thanks! I FINALLY got my plywood cut today. I was having trouble finding someone willing to cut it. I found an old-timey lumber yard and the woodworker cut it to fit the cargo space exactly. He cut out little 1/2 circles just like on the cargo liner so that the hooks are still usable. He spent 3 hours on it (might have taken longer because I was in the way!) and cut it from 3/4" outdoor use plywood. He sanded down every single curve so that it is smooth as glass. Total price for wood, labor, and sales tax: 39.55. And, oh yeh, the good thing is that I can pick it up, I was concerned it would be too heavy for me to put in and out. Cheap carpet and spray adhesive come next, and I think that I understand the bolting stuff on section with the help of John Lee at EE.
Thanks again, Jamie
