Putting a liner in Kawi OEM top case

[wipfel]

I've got the Kawasaki top case (Givi E470, I believe) and was wondering if anyone has put in a liner?  I don't like the hard plastic where things will be sliding around all the time and would like to put in a rubber or felt liner.

I have the Givi E55NT top case....also got the Givi liner for top and bottom, would do it again.  I would recommend you put something in there.  :-)

Thanks, LJ.  Is the liner pre-shaped and you just press it into place with some kind of adhesive?

I went to WalMart, auto department and bought a roll of automotive carpet material.  They had it in both black and grey.  It's like a three foot wide roll of carpet like material.  I cut the material down to the size of the bottom of the case and fitted it in, cutting at the creases to smooth it out as much as possible.  Then I used a spray adhesive to glue it down.  Not the greatest looking, but does the job.  It's been in there for a couple of years and hasn't begun to peel.  Whole thing cost me about $15.00 and  an hour of time.

Thanks, Roadie.  That's the kind of thing I was thinking of.
