Looks like the Rola Rigid 59000 Organizer is on Amazon for a decent price too.

It's currently $38.46 and it states on the site that there's a $5 coupon that you can use as well upon checkout.




I've had one of these in my trunk for the last 8 years and love it. Don't usually see them for this cheap...

Huh. That's kind of interesting. About $32 after the discount I guess huh. Would probably do it if I didn't already have a solution - the local hardware store was clearing out these semirigid trapezoidal folding fabric baskets so I bought several of a couple sizes - pretty much enough to cover the hatch area. I don't even generally deploy those but they do come in handy once in a while. Not very vertical, though, so when there's a lot of cargo I wind up not using them at all.

The ones I got are grey with red edging, so it's rather funny that they kind of match the pu's color scheme.

Pics in car?

[frothy]

@maisonvi; Not what you asked for, but here are some pictures of the organizer so you can get a better idea of how it's constructed:



There are two strips of Velcro on the inside and one on each of the sides so you can move the dividers to the desired position and strap them securely into place. The dividers have a plastic insert sewn into them, so they're nice and stiff. The two pulls on the ends are made of a soft rubber.



Both sides of the carrier have a plastic insert sewn snuggly into them, running the entire length.



See how the stitching forms a traingular shape? There's a plastic insert inside of there as well (both sides). There's also a long stiff spring sewn into that top seam -- both ends of the spring feel as though they have rubber or plastic caps to keep from eating through the outer material.



From ROLA: "Non-slip material prevents the MOVE from sliding during sudden stops or fast cornering"

THIS I kind of disagree with. The base is mostly a ridged soft-plastic material and the outer edging is obviously rubber. Nothing too cutting edge here as far as preventing it from sliding around too much. I'm not saying it doesn't do a decent job of staying in place, but there's nothing on the base making it super grippy either.

I'll upload pictures of it in the car tomorrow when it's light out.

Apologies for the thread jack...

I like those rubber mats you have as well. Where did you find them?

[jax ms3gt]

Yeah the rubber mat is dope! I appreciate the pics, I thought the organizer would've been bigger, but still looks useful

[frothy]

The cargo tray is a Mazda OEM accessory...

The 1st Gen MS3 part#: 0000-8B-L09
The 2nd Gen MS3 part#: 0000-8D-L01

Here's a picture comparison between the two, as they are slightly different in both shape and style (2nd Gen on top, 1st Gen on bottom):




Note the lip in the back of the 1st Gen mat (not sure if this applies to the 2nd Gen mat), it's somewhat of a nuisance having that raised edge if you want to load large items in the car with the rear seats lowered.



As for the ROLA organizer, there's also a larger one available: the 59001, which is 38"x15"x7". The Gen1 hatch is roughly 32"x40". So although it should fit, you're limited as to how you can position it.

This larger organizer does in fact qualify for the same instant $5 off coupon on Amazon that the smaller one does. I'm not sure if the current listed price is competitive or not, though.

fk, amazon is selling rear gen1 mat for $100.. was hoping it wasnt that much

[kbspeed3]

I got my rear mat off ebay earlier this year for $70 with free shipping (I'm a gen 1).

Tasca Parts | Lowest Prices Anywhere for Genuine OEM Parts has 'em for $71.84 and $12.90 for shipping (that was my listed shipping cost, anyway).

Not tons better, but it's something.

Might be worth posting a WTB on MSF -- you might get lucky. I've seen a couple sold in the For Sale threads...



EDIT:
Also, the above mats are NOT rubber, they're a soft plastic. Doubt this is a deal-killer for anyone, but thought i'd mention it.

[JOHNSOPN]

Does anyone have pictures of these racks on their car? I want roof racks but I don't want them to be huge and look stupid.

Also, how easy are they to remove and put back on?

Yeah, I ordered the one for my gen2 the week I got my car, I think from one of the stealerships that does online part sales, and that's pretty close to what I paid. Overall I'm happy with it, as it's saved the cargo area carpet from at least one moderate sized spill already and still looks new after squirting it off with the hose.

There's still a lip on the gen2 cargo mat, but not as large as it looks like the gen1 mat has. It catches on things but rocking the item a bit takes care of it so not a huge deal.

I ordered Mazda's rubber floor mats at the same time too... the 2013 mats fscking suck. I still think the WeatherTech stuff might be better but it does cost WAY more and has third party branding all over it too.

They're definitely pricey, but they're pretty low-key as far as branding.
There's nothing on the rear mats and the two fronts just have the sticker on the side.

After a few hot summers those stickers on the front mats have a tendency to peel off and disappear...

The DigitalFit Weathertechs are made of a similar material as the Mazda cargo cover, btw -- it's more of a plastic than a rubber.

If you're ever in the market for a set, I recommend checking in at Autogeek for sales around opportune times: Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Christmas, etc... Their sales usually exclude these mats, but every so often they're included and can be had for 20% off, or whatever...

Hmm, fair enough I guess they are. But they sure look a lot more hardcore than the Mazda rubber ones. They pretty much scream "DO NOT FUCK with the carpet".

Edit: if I sound like I'm trying to convince myself I made the right choice... I am. LOL.

+10 on the weather tech mats, I got a set off of ebay, they are worth every penny if you have kids (or snow, or both)... the crap I have pulled out of my car still in those mats is incredible. lusting after the rear cargo mat now...

[aackthpt]

@Yatta; @frothy; can one of you guys post a pic of the driver's side footwell with teh weathertech please?

Dude, you're killin' me here. That precisely covers all the areas that still get salt and shit past the edges of the Mazda ones. To unsalt the bottom of my dead pedal last month I had to spray mass amounts of water, suck with shop vac, repeat about 25 times..... Also they don't cover anywhere near the accelerator, because liability and Audi/Toyota I imagine.
