In my Golf the trunk space floor is very flimsy, as it is for you JSW owners and probably jetta owners as it's just a piece of fabric on top of cheesy material that is expected to hold up to weight on top of it. Underneath is just a hollow space where the spare is.
I often fold the seats down to make room for the dogs, I lay a nice thick blanket down to protect from hair and nails ruining the interior. Saliva is a whole other thread for cleanup with drooling lipped boxers
After 12k the floor board of the trunk is already kind of bent in the center and ugly from the dogs weight and putting tools in it for my job. I think the design is terrible, obviously not with dogs in mind from vw engineers, but even so it's easily bent with little weight applied.
I was thinking of maybe a 1/4 inch plywood cut to shape with a jigsaw to go underneath. Anyone else have any ideas or what you did to strengthen the underside of your cargo space?
