You mean that flat hunk of masonite that people hack into for speakers? If
so, I recovered Klaus' with delicious chocolate marine grade carpet (I
chose it for its light weight, water proof-ness (lined the trunk with it
too), and mainly UV stability). Not sure about vinyl there, but mine's held
down with that spray adhesive (maybe 3M?), as is the carpet on those side
shelves. It survived Waterfest, that's the hottest my car's ever been in
the 3 years it's been in there. Now in Fla? You may need like something
military rated for the afterburner area of a fighter jet or something. I
bet you're hitting way over 150F, especially if it's black, which aim sure
it would be!
