okay i have a 01 bmw m3 and want to do a basic but full fiberglass system in my trunk where you see nthing but fiberglsss etc. + equipment no oem lining etc. The problem is How do you structure it and make it form to the water lining around the trunk and the hatch.This is where the rubber lining prevents water to get into the trunk cabin. And how will you do this? specifically ive worked with fiberglass before. Do you staple the fleece to the sub rings and then stretch it out all the way and then have the weather lining put back in as a support ?

all you have to do is take off the weather stripping and put it back down with fleece under it, the staple the fleece down to your box or what every wooden shape you've made in your trunk, then glass it. once its hardened you should be able to pop it in and out. Sometimes you'll have to trim the edges a bit to get it to fit easily.

yes.   best way of looking at it either romove anything that you donrt want resin touching or tape it off.  I personally used hot glue for mine worked fine, kinda time consuming thou (to adhear the fabric to the mdf not the car). 

Ya my radio sucks.
Oh by the way I cant spell!!!

Definitly! If you want to save it, tape it off!
