Measurements:
Below were our initial plywood measurements but as you saw we made some adjustments with the curved cuts and sanding on the back support panels. The below measurements should be adjusted to your specific make/model of SUV. The back of my 2018 Subaru Forester is not level which is why the support panels are various heights.
(1) 31.5” x 42” (Back Top Plywood Panel and Carpet)
(1) 26.5” x 42” (Middle Top Plywood Panel and Carpet)
(2) 16” x 21” (Both Front Top Plywood Panels and Carpets)
(3) 9” x 31.5” (Back Support Panels - these were then cut at an angle - 8.5” on one end and 7.5” on the other. They were then rounded and sanded as shown in the video.)
(1) 5” x 42” (Middle Support Panel)
(1) 5.5” x 42” (Middle Support Panel)
