Interior liftgate panel protection

[salsanacho]

The interior liftgate panel is starting to flake and degrade due to things in the cargo bay smashing into it. Have any of you tried to add adhesive rubber pads or other types of protection to that panel?

To prevent things from moving around, I purchased a spider net to hold the items in the cargo down.

I have a set of "canvas back" covers for the rear of the TuRD. Floor, sides, hatch, doors and rear seat backs. Looks like sin when i install the side panels, but works well for my crazy GSD's.

Also use the "fish nets" daily.

I looked for this same solution but ended up getting Plano heavy duty totes for camping and hunting trips. I also leave one secured in the cargo all the time for tossing in sports equipment etc.

The 4Runner does seem to use a plastic on their interior panels that scratches very easily. More so then any other vehicle I have owned. In 5 months and 7000 miles the interior panels are looking like my 6 year old BMW X5.

Yeah, unfortunately these were camping cots which bashed around, not sure if the nets could contain those. I'll keep looking around for possible solutions. might need to pack those differently or pad the cots.

Strap you stuff down better. Orrr just let it get busted and up and replace it if you need to sell the truck.

Look at Raingler products to see if they have a solution for your need. They can also do custom net products.

Once it gets beat up enough I have thought about having it sprayed with bed liner...

This rear liftgate molle panel looks interesting. But nowhere on the website do they say what material it’s made from. Or how heavy it is. If it’s steel it could be kind of heavy for screw attachment to the thin plastic panel.

Thanks everyone, I'm like the Raingler net idea, wonder if it's still enough to keep things from crashing into the tailgate. I might just see how bad it deteriorates and then replace the panel, looks like the panel is ~200 bucks to replace.
