Default Tuffy security deck enclosure top options?

Just bought and installed the Tuffy deck enclosure. Now I'm trying to decide what to do with the top deck. I want to cover it with something, possibly a mat or matching carpet, and add some tie downs or anchors. Looking to see what other people who have the deck enclosure did. Any comments or pics would be appreciated...thanks!

I have not put any anchors in place yet, but I did carpet the top and fill in the gaping hole that was left by me not having the factory sub.

How well does the Tuffy play with the soft top? Any rubbing when the soft top is folded down?

The carpet looks good. Where did you get it from? Does it match the factory carpet its hard to tell from the pics.
I like what you did with that gap. I have the sub so it wasn't an issue for me. Gotta wonder why they just didn't make two different panels though!!

The top is definitely gonna sit a lot higher now. Gonna try putting the top down tomorrow for the first time since installing the deck. I'll let ya know how it sits and will try to take some pics and post them up.

Found the carpet at Meijer, not an exact match, but it does not stand out. I was curious with the one size fits all model as well.

I don't like the way it sits so I am going to try to figure out a way to use my soft top boot to wrap it up while the top is down.

With the stock Jeep emblem cargo mat installed the height is 14 1/2" but without it is 14 3/4". The upper deck has a 2 1/8" depth. At 28 1/2" from tailgate to rear panel there is step down that lowers the height to 13"...that is only for the rear 1 1/2" of the trunk. I hope this helps and if you need any more measurements or pictures let me know.

I got a diamond-plate rubber mat from McMaster-Carr and spring-loaded tie-downs. Perfect!
