Help! How Do I....

How do I make the speedster humps fit in the rear trunk? Anyone have an idea? I can't seem to get these things to fit together.

If you have pictures that would be great.

Thanks for the help.

James

I had a set of these before... I know this might not be completely helpful in the description, but you basically just stack them on top of each other, but.... well I'll see if I can dig up a picture... maybe someone else here can do a better job of describing it... haha

They fit in an empty trunk. I did it once years ago when I took the car to the dealer and once I was there it started to rain. Usually when it rains I would have just put one on the passenger floorboard and the other on the passenger seat, as I have too much stuff in the rear trunk.

I had emptied the trunk before I went to the dealer, so I put them in the trunk. Took me a while flipping and moving them around. Did not think to take a picture.

This is the primary reason I have only used mine once

They definitely fit. When Ellen gets home with the car, I'll take a picture. That's where we store ours all the time.

I did it once last summer. I must have gotten lucky as it only took 2-3 tries before I figured it out. It was a tight fit though and I remember that the trunk lid had just enough room to shut and latch. I sure didn't want to have to slam the lid to get it to latch.

I wonder if I have a different style or something, because mine go right in.

The first one goes in like this with the wraparound part pointing to the driver's side taillight...



The second one goes on top of it like this, with the wraparound part pointing to the passenger side taillight...



In the bags, they look like this...

Hey Griz,
are they OEM humps? Mine are and I can't seem to get them to fit in my 02 like that. I can get both in the front trunk though. It's a very tight squeeze but i can do it. Normally I just put one it the front and one in the back.

No, mine aren't factory, they're after-market.
