Bit of a strange one this.

I was loading up my Corsa earlier - 3dr - so put the rear seats down. I am bass player, so have some bulky gear to carry around.

However, I quickly noticed that one of the items had put a small scratch on the rear of the back seats - ie the metal bit that normally acts as the boot.

My last car had a material back, which is fine, but the metal obviously scratches easily.

I tried putting a sheet/towel across it, but because of the shiny surface, it just slides off!

Not sure if this is a similar design to previous Corsas?

Anybody else had this? Any ideas for a solution? Not to keen on all the black paint being scratched off!

Vboth my corsa c's had this, an 02 and an 03 plate.

Some clear sticky vinyl or some sort of cling film type stuff would work. We have Fiestas at work which have metal seat backs and theres some clear sticky film on them, my guess is the Corsas have this too but its been peeled off along with the plastic seat covers, footwell plastic sheets etc. when the dealer has valeted it.

I was thinking of taking mine to a vehicle trimmer and get some hard wearing cloth fitted.this would also stop stuff sliding around when the seat is down

Buy some thin black carpet or plastic cover if you prefer cut it to shape and use black velcro in a few places to hold it in place would be real cheap and easy to do, im going to do it when I have time for my fishing tackle.

also easy to remove if needed

Thanks for the replies!

Currently looking for some kind of gripping rubber mat - something I can just roll and store in the boot when the seats are back up.

I'll post back what I find, hopefully might assist others looking for a similar solution!

I have used an old ground sheet for years ? Very handy when transporting garden rubbish etc to our local tip.

I think the thing is because the seats fold at a slight angle as well, so I need something with a rear grip, or it all slides off and around!

Both my D's (1.2 Energy and 1.4T Black Edition) had bare metal rear seat back but my E VX-Line has cloth backing, probably because it is a split back and not a single one piece.

That's exactly the reason, its the same on D's with split folding seats, my C SXi years ago was the same as are other small cars like Fiestas.

My cars the same with the cloth seat back, and 60/40 split folding seat, i believe only the SRi/SRi-VX Line and SE have this as standard now.

Bought this last week -

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151253939823?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&var=450312445565&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Bought the smallest size - 1 metre x 1 metre.

It fits really well across the metal back of the seats, no trimming required if you tuck it in nicely.

Grips well, and arrived in a few days - cost just over £11 all in.

Definitely worth a look if you carry sharp objects in the boot. For me, it's all my bass gear, and general band stuff....hardcases can be quite abrasive! :lol:
