Replaced OEM Cargo Liner with Weathertech Liner
After a year and a half, I just threw out the OEM rear cargo liner. Never fit right and it slid around.
Replaced it with a Weathertech and the fit is perfect. Here is the odd surprise...somehow the rear cargo area feels larger with a liner that fits all the edges correctly.

Sorry for the results, @PaulLR. I actually went the complete other direction!<g> I didn't have anything at first (too cheap to order it) and planned to do the Weathertech. Really liked how it was designed to actually catch a little bit of fluids. But I really hated the much thinner materials (more plastic like than rubber like) from my other vehicles' OEM liners. So, I threw it out and went with the OEM. This obviously proves that everyone has different tastes. I now use that huge weathertech as a mat when I'm crawling under the Defender to keep me off the ground! Mine doesn't move around because I carry so much crap back there on a daily basis.
I'm with GouseK9 on this. I found the Weathertech not as slick as the cargo deck, but not much better and I hated the 2" lip fit on the forward edge. Dumped the Weathertech for the OEM mat which is much more grippy.
I bought this

Which is rubber rather than ABS and held up well through the winter. Not quite the coverage of the Powerful UK cover (which was not available when I bought mine) but still a quick and easy fix

Hopefully most of you know but if not: the OEM rear cargo liner (As shown in Post 5 right above) has a roll-out bumper cover integrated into the underside. It's just a thin vinyl flap, but it's there.
Wow, that OEM liner isn't what came with mine. My OEM cargo liner did not have that nice no-skid backing or the flap to protect the rear bumper. And the fact that it didn't fit right and skidded around makes me wonder if they put in a liner from another model. Whatever I threw out was not what is posted in the above pics. If your dealer can supply the correct OEM liner above, go with it.
I have a pronounced problem with how lazy I am. Or, to make myself feel better - how focused I am at minimizing excess/wasteful process steps. Yeah, that's it. As a result, I have the little kilt flap but I RARELY think about it. Primarily because I have so much crap back there that I don't lift the matt up unless I clear out a bunch of stuff first.
