Trunk tie down on 300C?

[flt505]

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to tie down the trunk with a bungie cord on the "C". Let say you have something long, like a ladder that requires the trunk lid to be unlatched. On the "C" the trunk lid is completely covered in a padding material and I don't see anywhere to attach the bungie cord.
Miles, you usually have excellent ideas on isssues like this.

Just in case you weren't aware; the rear seats do fold down, opening to the trunk to give more room.

HOMEDEPO do rent there trucks out for 20.00 for 75 mins. but never put a ladder n a C. that should be a crime

The padding comes off with a half dozen plastic pop rivets if you really want to put a ladder or such in the 300. I kept the old Pontiac to use for just such occaisions.

A ladder!!! My C would cringe. That's why i have a grand caravan and a dakota pick up.

I'd never put a ladder in the trunk . . . a body - maybe.........

If you have a bungie with a hook on each end, you can put one end into the lock body (there's a hole or two) and the other end hooked onto the botton of the rear fascia cover. Be careful, though, that you aren't stretching the cord tightly that it could put a hole in the cover. I did similar things that way on my LHS. It works fine.

Have your wife lay in the trunk and hold the trunk lid down

I like Jade05's idea the best

Be careful, bungee cords are an excellent tool for putting your eye out if they unhook.
