How to make the trunk more convenient in a Lada Vesta - tips

Raised floor in Kalina hatchback

The trunk floor was assembled from 8mm plywood. All elements are cut out with an electric jigsaw. Then we tighten the plywood with leatherette using a furniture stapler or glue. Installation of the raised floor is carried out using self-tapping screws.

As a result, we get a false floor of Kalina, which is able to fit a sufficient number of things, leaving the trunk completely free. The box itself is genderless.

A little later, this scheme was slightly modified, and the design was slightly redesigned. The corners abutting the back of the seats were made round, which made removing the shelf easier and faster. It also became possible to fold the parts of the shelf so that they do not interfere at all. The spare tire is under the raised floor, and in order to get it out you need to remove the shelves and pull out the “box”. The modification also affected the box, which was slightly reduced to make it easier to reach. By the way, leatherette was also replaced by a cheaper and more practical car carpet.

There is also a simpler version of Kalina’s raised floor, which required: 640x920mm plywood, 2 small boards and 6 screws. There are no compartments, as in previous versions, which allows you to place larger items.

To find things at night, it is recommended to make the trunk lighting independent.

“Cleanliness is the key to health, order comes first.” Let's give an example of putting things in order in the trunk by creating a raised floor in the trunk.

So, I’m posting a photo report of the step-by-step creation of a false floor in my car. Maybe it will be useful to someone.

So, let's throw everything out of the trunk. We immediately decided on the height, I needed it to fit the most necessary things and not to reduce the space in the trunk too much, since I don’t plan to remove the floor very often. I decided the height of the frame would be 11.5 cm. The top board is 84 cm, the bottom board is 78 cm, all the sides are 58 cm, with these dimensions the frame fits tightly into the trunk and does not move at all.

We cut out blanks from available material, mine is chipboard. It is better to cut with a jigsaw. Sand the ends and sides.

We mark and drill holes, assemble the frame. I used euroscrews because I like working with them. Who doesn’t want it, then use ordinary wood screws.

Next, we make partitions, here we immediately estimate roughly what will lie, for example, from a tool, unless, of course, you are a fan of everything lying in a common heap. I immediately decided what I would put in and what dimensions were needed for it.

Acoustic shelf in the trunk

Option for an acoustic shelf in the trunk

As mentioned above, a shelf is also installed in the trunk. It may be a folding version, and on the sides there will be fixed shelves with speakers.

Basic moments

• Installation of the shelf is carried out using self-tapping screws and corners.
• The process of installing the shelf is simple, especially on the VAZ 2112.
• The side panels can be left in the form of boxes, or you can remove the trim and make new ones (for example, like this).

Acoustic side shelf

• When installing fixed side shelves, you should ensure their rigidity and reliable fixation to the maximum extent possible.
• There are two ways to install speakers in side shelves: open installation, where the speakers are installed after installing the shelf, and hidden installation, where the speakers are installed in place beforehand.

Note. Regardless of how the speakers are installed, the wires are routed out in advance.

• When installing an acoustic shelf in the trunk, the damping effect should be taken into account. In this case, the trunk and shelves will need to be provided with a good sound-absorbing effect. If initially the walls and floor of the trunk of the VAZ 2114 were lined with thin and low-quality material, then everything can be changed. An expensive fleecy carpet laid on foam rubber or other vibration- and sound-absorbing material will solve this problem.

Noise and vibration insulation for acoustics

On this passage, full of optimism, we end our article. More detailed instructions for making acoustic shelves with your own hands can be downloaded from the Internet. Guided in addition by video and photo materials, doing everything correctly will not be difficult. The price of a car that provides acoustic comfort by default increases significantly.

Soundproofing the trunk of Kalina

Car soundproofing technology is the same for all brands and types of cars, however, specific cases have their own characteristics. In the case of the Lada Kalina, the whole process begins with removing the trunk trim and trunk door trim. Next, we clean the entire surface and degrease it with White Spirit. The first layer is vibrating material. Installation of noise insulation begins with vibration-isolating material (in this example, sheet vibration material Shumoff and STP are used). We cut sheets of a suitable size (the larger the pieces, the better), and heat their bitumen side with a technical hair dryer. We glue the material onto the cleaned metal of the body, and roll out the sheet with a hard (plastic/iron) roller. We glue the next sheet of vibration isolator with an overlap. We cover 60-100% of the surface, depending on the type of material. Sound insulation of trunk arches

Wheel arches should be given special attention, because all the noise from the wheels is transmitted through them. If you decide to partially soundproof Kalina, then the arches should be treated in any case

Second layer, sound insulation. It is customary to use accent material as either BiPlast (sound-absorbing material) or SPLEN (more heat-insulating material). All of them have a self-adhesive base, so installing the second layer will take significantly less time. There are no options here, we cover 100% of the surface. The only exceptions are technological openings, these include openings for interior ventilation.

Soundproofing the trunk lid of Kalina

Don’t forget about the fifth door, and here pay attention not only to the trunk lid itself, where we similarly cover it with vibration isolator and close the technological holes, but also to the upholstery of the trunk door. It needs to be weighted with pieces of vibration material, and then covered with Biplast or anti-creaking

Here it is worth paying attention to the entire lid, which will increase significantly after sticking the vibration material. By the way, we also glue all the plastic elements of the trunk (window pillar trims, podiums for speakers) with anti-creaking. Afterwards we carry out the assembly in the reverse order.

As a result, performing such sound insulation yourself will take you one working day. In this case, to completely cover the trunk of a Lada Kalina hatchback, it was required:

• 30 sheets M-4 (37*27cm)
• 3 sheets P-8 (75*56cm)
• 2 sheets P-4 (75*56cm)

The effect of sound insulation is significant, firstly, you can’t hear the exhaust, when before sound insulation, when you pressed the gas pedal with force, you could hear the sound of the nozzle on the pipe, but now you can’t hear it. Secondly, you can hardly hear how the rear suspension works on bumps. The sound from the suspension is dissipated, and the rear passengers are very happy. Remember that the best sound insulation is when a set of works has been carried out aimed not only at insulating from external noise (noise from wheels, wind, etc.), but also eliminating creaks and crickets inside the car.

DIY raised floor in the trunk of a VAZ 2110

Until now, only a few automakers have managed to create a station wagon that doesn't scream about its gardening purpose. The five-door Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake is not just one of the most fashionable and sporty station wagons of our time, but a kind of aristocratic view of “car building” in general

In Russia, the sedan version of the CLS has traditionally been more popular, however, the stylish Shooting Brake has not been deprived of attention - the car is periodically seen on domestic roads

Are five-door CLSs chosen for their practicality and spaciousness? Of course not. For household needs, Mercedes-Benz offers an E-Class station wagon with a trunk volume of 2 cubic meters, and here the “shooting brake” with its flat roof and 590-1550 liters of useful volume has nothing special to answer. But what the more utilitarian “eshka” does not have is the spectacular trim of the luggage compartment, which, instead of the usual carpet, is offered as an option for the CLS Shooting Brake. The cargo floor here can be made of American cherry wood, which is trimmed with black stripes of dark stained oak. It really looks very elegant. Here is what the manufacturer himself writes about the wooden covering of the luggage compartment of the CLS Shooting Brake:

Extravagant, pleasing to the eye and incredibly pleasant to the touch, the optional designo wood boot floor in American cherry underlines the craftsman character of the interior. This masterpiece gives the luggage space the elegance of a luxury yacht deck, while also captivating with the capabilities of modern technology and the perfection of precision workmanship.

From a press release from Mercedes-Benz.

Wait, but this is just a trunk?! Perhaps in advertising photographs and in the imagination of Mercedes-Benz marketers, the cargo compartment is some kind of piece of art, but real people in real life transport all kinds of household luggage in it! From bags, suitcases and shopping bags, to boxes with car accessories, household utensils and everything that you usually don’t want to dirty the interior with. It’s clear that no one will stuff the trunk of a Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake under the roof with potatoes and stools from Ikea, but still. Over time, the “aristocratic” wooden finish runs the risk of becoming scuffed and scratched, so that after a couple of years the former luster may not remain.

So what costs should you be prepared for if one day a CLS owner wants to update the appearance of the luggage compartment? We addressed this question to the official Mercedes-Benz dealers in Moscow and were once again taken aback by the figures announced. It turned out that all these pretentious American cherry and stained oak, from which the fixed and folding sections of the bottom are made, cost as much as 397,545 rubles! The floor opening handle costs another 4,039 rubles (usually this is one of the most worn-out elements in trunks), and the installation of components will cost 2,750 rubles. Total - 404,334 rubles!

Replacement work

Yes, using the “wooden” trunk of the CLS Shooting Brake to its fullest is too expensive. You can’t help but wonder whether such luxury is actually needed in the “cargo” compartment, or whether a standard bottom with carpet trim will do (if replaced it will cost 8 times less). Don't take your friends and companions on an excursion to the trunk. Of course, expensive wooden trim can be protected with special accessories like protective trays and mats, but then a logical question arises - why order something that then has to be hidden? PS If you think that there is nothing so terribly expensive in your car, then you simply didn’t read our new research, stay tuned. We promise new tears every week.

How to do it yourself?

By the way, the easiest way to make a double floor is from parts of an old wooden bed.

In particular, two guides + crossbars are taken, they are filed and adjusted to the size of the trunk.

Places for hinges, lugs and other features of the trunk are cut where necessary and the double floor is almost ready.

Next, the standard floor covering is placed on top of the double floor.

If necessary, guides and crossbars are sheathed with fabric or any suitable materials.

For those who love to craft, this can even be a way to earn a little money among relatives, acquaintances, and friends.

This option can also be offered for sale through car services, in the same way as people cover steering wheels, gear knobs, and handbrake with leather.

As well as door and ceiling panels, floors and similar related services for cars.

This is a very good help for car service owners.

By the way, modern clients have little time to travel to different services to find out where and what services are provided.

It’s always very convenient when the service has visual advertising.

A poster or simply a list of services in the break room or in a visible place.

A list of what this service or related partners and individuals can do for you.

As an example, I needed to repair an old air pistol, so I went to a gun store.

I asked about parts, lubricants, spare parts, then I would have to study sites on what and how to do correctly, wasting time.

But literally in the same store they gave me the phone number of a private person who deals with such issues at home.

I called, made an appointment, went and handed it over, and after a couple of days everything was ready, they also gave me a bunch of useful advice.

It’s terribly convenient and the prices of such guys are lower + it’s beneficial for the store to have such specialists.

As they say, once again they will come to them, and not to competitors.

Trunk floor for Toyota Corolla. With my own hands + assistant Kristina Neboga

And so I once bothered with the floor in the trunk. but I didn’t betray the special significance of such a useful thing as a normal floor... I left the good old Japanese)) and maybe not the Japanese plywood... in general, after a year of rapid use it sank... (((((so I thought about replacing it)))) ) and a complete replacement...

To perform this operation, the following were purchased: - 1 sheet of moisture-resistant plywood 10 mm thick (1.5 m by 1.5, and for convenient transportation, ask for it to be cut into 2 parts... - 1.5 x 1.0 m and 0.5 x 1, 5 perfectly fits into a 5-door hatchback from the 5th door!) - 1 sq. meter of sound insulation (what is it called, but very sticky... and false))) does not burn, does not absorb water - I checked it personally! for a night of tests! ) - 2 linear meter of carpet (size 2.00 x 1.40 - about 0.5 square meters left!) - PVA glue - White Spirit 1l. - Screws (about 50-60 pieces per head - of different lengths) - slats 40x20 mm (4 pieces, 1.5 linear meters long) - hinges for the lid

...From what else USED in work: 6-7 hours of free time! to do everything without stress! this comes with time to purchase materials!

- an electric jigsaw (a couple of different files) - a drill (with an attachment for a screwdriver and other attachments) - a Stanley screwdriver with a ratchet - different attachments (a cross, for a drill and for a jigsaw and drill) - cardboard about 1.2 m2. - film (for the pattern) - a couple of rags - sandpaper (medium, round off the edges) - a stapler (an irreplaceable thing!) - staples for the stapler (anywhere without them) - tape measure - electrical tape)))) (to determine the exact boundaries of the interior))) ) it’s difficult to describe... but still I used)))) green electrical tape) - Nokia N95 8 Gb phone (in order to take photos) - 3 bottles of 1.5 liter Pepsi max, cold... and ice))))) - second 2 hands))))

...and so let's begin))))) on paper I painted different things for myself... both the shelf and the lid and in general a dream and not a trunk))))) but in life I got a little carried away))))) I thought for a long time... it’s good to draw I can))))) but that was not the case...

Empty trunk)))) well, almost empty... because... I replaced my spare tire from a 13 diameter to a 14 diameter... then the floor became a little bit higher... I had to raise the floor 5 cm higher than the previous level!

And so the measurements)))) you need to measure everything clearly so that there are no such crap as mine))))) although I seem to have measured it clearly too))))) in short, I’ll tell you everything was measured super, but I took a different path...

I cut a square to the size of the wheel, or rather covered it with a frame... 2 slats 68 cm long and 2 slats 75 cm long, and then from this frame I danced... inside I have corners))) from under the fastenings under the blinds... there were extra ones, so I used them! hard, comfortable)))) what else is needed))))) screwed them to each other through washers! It’s more practical this way (in the future they plan to cover them with carpet - it’s stupid to protect them on top!)

Next, the film was taken, placed in the trunk and the outline of the floor was outlined with a marker on top of the film! but here was the most interesting mess))))) I was going to raise the floor 5 cm up? and then I measured along the bottom... and it turned out that I missed a bit... on average, I need to add 1.5 - 2 cm on each side...

Next, thick cardboard was taken and curves were clearly measured on it at a level of 5 cm from the floor of the trunk! then we saw, we sawed again, we sawed, we adjusted, and so on and so forth...

We cover the square lid with carpet on top! from below with a slotted spoon... don’t forget to wipe the slotted spoon with white spirit where we glue it, and lightly coat the side where the carpet will be with PVA! ...literally a little bit! no need to pour a liter! Next, these edges were cut out))))) and covered using the same technology as the square)))))

After all this, it was decided to screw the edges to the square... which turned out accordingly))))) Then the hinges were screwed on... (they will have to be removed and painted later because there is temporarily no black paint...) and now the lid has learned to rise))))) a tape-loop made of carpet was temporarily stapled with a stapler for ease of opening... later there are plans to replace it with a more convenient handle... Well, after several manipulations with moving the rear seats... and searching for the correct position, it was installed on the car...

made! in 2 days))))) I indicated the approximate work time at the beginning of the post... I got a lot of pleasure from everything that was done))) although I was a little tired... but still happy with the work done))))) if you have any questions, ask... I will answer everyone ))))) without exception)))))

When double flooring is an indispensable and useful option

In such situations, a good tip is to create a false floor, or essentially a double floor in the trunk.

When all belongings are placed under the bottom of the trunk under the double floor, and the trunk itself remains free.

For use for other needs - bags from stores, suitcases, things for the country, on a long journey, and the like on top of a double floor. A very convenient option!

In the video below there is a person who professionally studies the volume of car trunks, and also studies the standard double floor on any car and their shortcomings to eliminate.

In addition, he makes devices for arranging a double floor in any car.

Options for modifying the luggage compartment of a car

The trunk of the Lada X Rey, despite its impressive size, can be significantly improved by installing additional accessories, such as organizers, which can be purchased at spare parts stores. The most popular organizer for X Rey is the one that is installed under the trunk shelf. It serves to store things and prevent them from randomly rolling while the car is moving. The organizer itself does not take up space, allowing you to easily reach your packed items. It is easy to install and remove, as it has a simple plastic design.

You can make a convenient organizer with your own hands, installed under the raised floor. This accessory is made from a sheet of plywood; to improve its decorative qualities, the parts are covered with artificial leather or covered with other decorative materials. Drawings of parts for manufacturing the structure are shown in the figure.

Organizer parts, where “t” is the thickness of the plywood.

The cover is made of ABS plastic, which has high strength characteristics, is scratch-resistant, and looks beautiful. The protective element is easily attached to the lock eye and the trunk seal. It would be a good idea to purchase a rubber mat that will protect the carpeted surface of the luggage compartment from contamination.

To protect the interior from extraneous noise penetrating through the trunk and resulting from impacts from gravel, stones, water and air flow, it is advisable to soundproof the compartment. For this purpose, you should purchase special soundproofing kits; their parts are easily glued to the bottom of the trunk and are made according to special patterns. As a rule, this is a three-layer coating consisting of a vibration-proofing layer, a substrate and a sound insulator.

Load securing net

In all configurations of the Lada Vesta SE version, there are special brackets above the trunk floor that can be used to secure the net. The staples are located in four places, and the mesh forms a single piece so that the load does not move during movement.

To securely secure the load, it is recommended to use an additional cord with a clamp. It should run along the perimeter of the mesh and tighten it along the contour. This mesh can be used in all climatic regions not lower than -40 and not higher than +55 degrees with air humidity not exceeding 80%.

If the car is equipped with special devices on the trunk floor and a net for securing cargo, be sure to use them. It is necessary to place cargo in the luggage compartment taking into account that objects and things cannot fall into the cabin on people during a sudden stop or braking.

Advantages of a raised floor:

• In the space under the floor you can place many communications. In our age, it is difficult to imagine an office building without kilometers of wires, let alone industrial buildings, data center premises, server rooms, etc.;
• Any finishing finish can be laid on the raised floor modules - carpet or vinyl tiles, laminate, etc. If necessary, slabs are supplied with a finished coating, which can be antistatic, conductive, high strength, etc.;
• The raised floor can be easily combined with ventilation, cooling, and heating systems;
• The installation of a floor on supports does not involve “wet” work with concrete, installation occurs relatively quickly;
• The adjustable height of the racks does not require a perfectly level base;
• The use of strong supports of varying heights of 15-200 cm makes it possible to construct reliable structures for premises arranged like an amphitheater: concert, cinema and conference halls, opera, classrooms;
• The raised floor can withstand enormous loads and significant weight of equipment;
• Premises for different purposes have different requirements for the characteristics of the floor covering, so the variety of materials for the manufacture of raised floors only contributes to its popularity.

Raised floor for the trunk of a VAZ 2105 VAZ 2107

Raised floor for the trunk of a VAZ 2105 - we will install it. First you need to completely empty the luggage compartment. Decide for yourself how much space you want to leave for the trunk. In our case, the height of the frame will be 11.5 cm. The top of the structure will be 84 cm, the bottom will be 78 cm, and the sides will be 58 cm. With this ratio, the device fits tightly into the luggage compartment and does not wobble.

We begin to make blanks from chipboard, it is recommended to use an electric jigsaw, and process the edges with sandpaper. We mark the places where holes will need to be made and drill them. When assembling, it is advisable to use Euroscrews, although ordinary self-tapping screws will work just fine. The next stage is making the partitions. At this stage, you should already have an idea of ​​what exactly will be located in the raised floor niches. We make a cover from plywood, size - 91 by 69 cm, thickness 9 mm. But if you have to transport a heavy load, then the thickness should be even greater. The lid is attached to the entire structure using hinges. You can start installing the device, but it won’t look very nice, so we dismantle the entire structure and cover it with carpet. In the process of work, we will need a ruler, scissors and a large stapler. We make marks on the carpet, then start cutting. If you don’t have a stapler at hand, then take a hammer and nails. After completing the tightening procedure, we reassemble the false floor; we will not disassemble it anymore. Since we have a box for small items, when pulled out, they will not scatter throughout the compartment. It is recommended to organize a solid floor so that, if necessary, you can pull out the entire structure and do not bother with pulling out large and small objects from there. Next, we cover the cover with carpet and secure it to the base.

Now you can put a false floor in the trunk of a VAZ 2105. If you think that you will never take it out again and the structure will forever be in this place, then it is possible to attach it to the body. Superglue will do, it will make the device non-removable in a couple of minutes. So it’s up to you to decide whether such a modification should be made or not; it’s more convenient when it can be removed at any time. You can use the raised floor not for the purpose of folding small things, but for installing audio system elements there, for example, a subwoofer or subwoofer. The fact is that the subwoofer takes up a certain space and needs to be put somewhere. Hiding under the floor is ideal, plus it provides easy access and can be easily removed or reconfigured if necessary. In this case, the division does not occur into many branches, but into one large one. When installing speakers there, you need to make holes of the appropriate diameter. The wiring runs throughout the entire cabin. When it reaches the partition behind which the trunk is located, we will need an electric drill. With its help, a hole will be made through which the speaker wires will pass. All connections must be well insulated, because plywood is flammable and in the event of a short circuit the consequences can be disastrous.

Soundproofing VAZ 2107. Trunk

Trunk overview, what is where and where

The basic configuration of the Lada Granta Liftback does not include a remote drive to unlock the doors. In Lux versions, a mechanical button is installed on the key. To unlock the fifth door, just press the button once. Next, lift the lid mechanically by hand. Note that it is not easy, one little finger will not be enough, make an effort. Even when folded, the trunk is spacious and impressive. The perimeter is lined with felt, fleecy material. It serves as both cladding and noise reduction.

Unfortunately, there is no rubber mat on the floor, only fleecy material. If necessary, the owner can independently purchase rubber coating. Lifting the false shelf, in the center we will see a recess for the spare wheel. Moreover, the standard radius of the disks is 14 inches, but you can fit all 16 inches. Convenient and practical, since there is free space. In addition to the full tire, there is a mechanical jack and a wheel wrench. If desired, you can fit a tow rope, which needs to be purchased separately; it is not supplied as standard.

Soundproofing the trunk

The procedure must be done efficiently; in addition to the trunk itself, its lid in the VAZ 2114 must also be soundproofed and modified.

The following material is useful for work: Hermeton A15 - 1 sheet (for arches), Comfort 6 (better than 10, it is much denser) 4 sheets and 30 sheets of Shumoff M3 (Shumoff P4), and as a vibration damper you can use Shumoff M2.

The procedure is performed in the following order:

It is better to use solid sheets, cutting them so as to leave an overlap of a centimeter and a half between the cut parts, then there will be no gaps.

With sound insulation, you can get rid of body flaws in the rear of the car, and, if necessary, weld it.

Raised floor for a lady

At first I didn’t like the idea of ​​​​making a false floor in the trunk of the Vesta, which is included in expensive trim levels. This is when I watched how people simply copied the factory design. Just think, there is a small space between the raised floor and the standard floor, in which you can’t really put anything. But the opportunity to organize a sleeping place by leveling the Vesta trunk floor to the level of the folded rear seats is already a worthwhile improvement. You can comfortably sleep in your car without a tent. And I decided to come up with a raised floor that is better and more useful than the standard one.

But I already bought a good rubber mat for the standard trunk floor of the Vesta... And then an idea arose - a mat! Ideally, the false floor in the trunk should be a mat - that is, flexible. Then you can make the most of the space underneath to store anything you need. But the practical implementation of a flexible and at the same time durable design is a technically very difficult task. Therefore, it was decided to come to a compromise and limit it to four sections. No sooner said than done. I ordered rectangular pieces of 15 mm plywood to size and cut out the required corners.

I really didn’t want to make a frame under the raised floor, as many people do. This is both a loss of space and a rigid division of the niche volume into sections. At the same time, you need to take into account that the spare tire that is currently lying around is a narrow stamped 15, and I plan to eventually cast it for 16 and wider. This means the height of the spare tire will increase and the frame should not rest against the spare tire. But it would be better without him at all. In the plastic of the trunk, on which the false floor rests, there are recesses that can be used under the frame (photo below). In short, it will be really needed - I’ll do it later.

The next thing I did was to study the space under the raised floor in the trunk of Vesta, in which I was going to store something I needed. The result did not cause delight. Bare primed metal, pitiful scraps of vibration and un-glued pieces of felt.

Definitely, sound insulation of the trunk is necessary. Moreover, I am removing the standard trunk floor lid, which was made with a claim for sound insulation. We need to compensate. An additional advantage will be the protective coating of the metal with a noise-insulating soft material, which will protect against scratches and prevent things from rattling.

Without fanaticism, I glued 3 sheets of 1.6 mm Comfort Mat G-Line vibration and carefully sealed the entire surface with 8 mm isolon. The result is a wonderful trunk niche.

Now you can return to making the raised floor. I was so distracted for a day of work, but I have to do it well, because it will turn out bad on its own. The final assembly of the raised floor panels was done outside the machine, since all dimensions had already been determined. First of all, I painted the plywood with a varnish similar to bitumen. I glued 4 mm isolon on the bottom for sound insulation. It adhered well to the varnished surface.

Next, I connected the sections of the raised floor with a synthetic belt, which goes to the handles for the bags. This is for reliability and the central belt creates handles for opening the raised floor.

In the final part, I connected the cut rubber mat and the raised floor sections with aluminum strips, using up all 100 pieces. self-tapping screws purchased for this purpose. I mentioned the mat at the beginning that I bought it for the trunk option without a false floor.

Now the sections have become movable due to rubber, while synthetic belts protect against rupture, especially in winter, when the elasticity of the rubber will be less. You can open one or two sections of the raised floor on each side to gain access to the contents of the trunk niche. This is much more convenient than completely unloading the trunk to open large sections. All the machine’s accessories can be easily accommodated inside - a jack, a pump, first aid kits, a fire extinguisher and many other things that you constantly carry with you.

I will also put a new mat on top, for the option with a raised floor, and enjoy the empty trunk. comments powered by HyperComments

Kalina trunk design

The trunk of a car deserves special attention, especially when it is of impressive size. Tuning the trunk of Kalina, like any other car brand, consists of a set of modifications, we’ll talk about them

Where can we begin to improve the trunk of Kalina, of course with sound insulation. It is best to do it first, because disassembling an already decorated trunk for this is not entirely reasonable. Sound insulation will not only save you from squeaks (relevant for Kalina Hatchback and Station Wagon), but also from noise from the arches and exhaust system. The next stage of modifying the trunk is making a false floor. If we are talking about a trunk that should please the eye, then you cannot do without it. It will allow you to store all your things under the floor, while leaving the luggage compartment empty, and will also serve as equipment for further design of Kalina’s trunk.

Next, we are finalizing the side niches of the trunk. There are many options, from installing a simple mesh (attached with Velcro):

Before making full-fledged plywood compartments (assembly using corners and screws):

If you need to place a subwoofer in the trunk, then the side niches are perfect for this. The final stage of tuning the Kalina trunk is the organization of lighting. And here you can think not only in terms of lighting the luggage compartment, but also in terms of lighting the side compartments, as well as a subwoofer or amplifier.

How did you decorate Kalina’s trunk with your own hands?

Why do you need a false panel in the trunk, where to install it

Additional shelves in the trunk most often house external amplifiers, capacitors, and processors that do not fit inside the car. Many car enthusiasts do not want to clutter the space near the front passenger’s knees with hanging structures. There is enough space in the trunk of a car to freely place additional equipment, but it must be properly positioned and protected from damage when the compartment is loaded with luggage.

In the trunk of a sedan, from the locations of the mounting shelves and the false panels covering them, the side openings near the wheel arches and the recessed space under the rear window are convenient. Less commonly, a raised false floor is installed in the trunk, which can be considered a type of false panel. In the trunks of two-volume hatchbacks and station wagons that are not equipped with a partition between the passenger compartment and the luggage compartment, broadband woofers, additional midbass, and compact low-power active subwoofers can be placed on mounting shelves.

Do-it-yourself raised floor in the trunk of LADA cars

One of the popular modifications to the trunk is to install a second floor in it in the form of a low box (raised floor). This design will allow you to store things (tools, sound amplifier, etc.) that will not dangle or get in the way during use. Let's consider a classic version of this tuning of the trunk of modern Lada cars.

Let's look at a specific example of making a raised floor with your own hands for a Lada Granta liftback. For other Lada models, all actions are performed in the same way:

1. Cut pieces of plywood (5-6 mm) into pieces of the required sizes using a jigsaw or saw.

2. If desired, the plywood can be painted (in this example, white) or coated with drying oil to protect it from moisture.

3. The top cover is tightened with material (for example, carpet), using a furniture stapler or glue.

4. The box is assembled using corners and hinges. The top lid can be made double so that, if desired, only part of the hidden trunk can be opened.

5. We apply design solutions. For example, when placing amplifiers in such a trunk, it will be convenient to have a viewing window made from a piece of monolith. To install it, we cut out a 5 cm groove along the contour from the bottom of the lid. We place the glass in it and glue it, and secure it with metal slats for reliability. Holes for ventilation can be made in the sides of the resulting box.

As a result, all that remains is to install a false floor in the trunk of the Lada and fill it with the necessary contents. The side niches in the trunk are deeper, which allows you to place additional things in them. Such modification of the trunk will require at least three free evenings, but the result is worth it!

Lada XRAY already has a second floor from the factory. There is a separate article on this topic for the Largus trunk. We offer one more instruction that will improve the lighting in the trunk of Lada cars.

Features and disadvantages of the luggage compartment

• To fully fold the rear row of seats into a flat platform, you will need to remove the headrests. Otherwise, they will rest against the back of the front seats. The angle of the seat layout will not exceed 160 - 165°;
• To remotely unlock the rear door lock, you need to press the mechanical key fob button twice;
• Lifting the trunk lid requires a lot of effort; the door is moderately heavy;
• A solid rubber mat on a raised shelf is impractical, since with frequent use of a spare wheel or a mechanical jack, the sides touch the fleecy covering, wearing it out.
