Quick checklist
Measure 4 things
- Boot floor length
- Boot width at the widest usable point
- Loading lip or bumper edge height
- Seat-fold and anchor-point layout

If you are still choosing the right fit path, use the support pages in order: fit type, body style, then measurements.
Step 1: measure the boot floor
Measure from the back of the rear seats to the tailgate edge along the floor. If you usually drive with seats folded, measure in that position rather than guessing the loaded size from memory.
Write the measurement down in centimetres and keep it alongside the vehicle model and trim. That makes comparison pages and product listings much easier to read.
Step 2: check width and shape
Measure the widest usable part of the boot, not just the narrowest point. Some boots flare out near the wheel arches, while others stay narrow but taller, which changes the way a liner should sit.
What matters most is the floor you want to protect and whether the liner needs to hug the side walls or simply cover the loading area cleanly.
What to note while measuring
- Whether the rear seats are upright, split-fold, or fully folded
- Whether the boot floor is flat or stepped
- Whether the load lip is low, medium, or high
- Whether the dog jumps in from the bumper or steps up
Those details decide whether you need a flatter liner, a raised lip, stronger bumper protection, or a body-style-specific comparison page first.
| Measurement | How to take it | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Floor length | Seat backs to tailgate edge | Shows whether the liner can sit flat |
| Boot width | Widest usable floor area | Checks side-to-side coverage |
| Loading lip height | Floor to bumper edge | Helps judge bumper flap need |
| Seat layout | Upright, folded, or split-fold | Confirms the correct configuration |
What usually causes bad fit
Most bad-fit problems come from measuring the wrong position, ignoring the loading lip, or assuming a universal product will cover the edges properly. A few extra minutes at the boot saves a lot of returns later.
If you are still not sure what the measurements mean, compare the explainers and vehicle-class pages in the hub before choosing a product.
FAQ
What should I measure first?
Start with boot floor length, then measure the widest usable part of the boot, and finish with the loading lip or bumper edge height.
Do split-fold seats change the measurements?
Yes. You need the dimensions for the layout you actually use, especially if you drive with the seats folded, half folded, or fully upright.
Why does bumper height matter?
It affects whether you need a higher lip, a bumper flap, or a flatter liner profile that still protects the rear edge of the boot.
