The BMW and Weather Tech cargo liners didn't appeal to me because 1) I have a 3rd row seat and they didn't look as if they would fold up compactly due to the raised lip around the peremeter, and 2) they were additional bucks when I already shelled out for three rows of floor mats. So, I decided to make my own.
I thought alot about what material to use. Carpet is a natural, but it is not so easy to clean. It also doesn't fold up compactly then the 3rd row is used. Vinyl Floor runners could work, but they are not wide enough. I came up with shower pan liner material, because comes in 4' wide rolls, is not too expensive, and is very durable. So for 4'x4' (if I remember correctly) it was less then $25 at Home Depot. I used a cardboard template which was just a piece of cardboard I was testing out as temporary cargo cover. (It worked surprisingly well).
The only difficult part was getting the cut-outs for seatbelts in the right position as well as the bump out on the left side.
