Default Clip for saggy boot pocket

On a UK forum there is discussion of a clip that holds an orange emergency triangle. Apparently in Europe, the purpose for the boot pocket is to hold an emergency triangle and this clip helps square up the pocket.

If your pocket looks like mine, it kind of sags and is useless.

I've been corresponding with the fellow that designed and manufactured the clip and he will ship to the states. However you have to have the orange triangle to make the thing work.

The orange triangle was not supplied with cars in the states, correct?

Anybody have the orange triangle that goes in the pocket or know where you can get one?

Where's the pocket? Maybe "saggy pockets" are a guy problem?

I think he is talking about the pocket in the trunk carpet, in front of the fuel tank

Not supplied in the US AFAIK. It must be a common Euro production item though if you can find the right one.

Speaking from experience, this is a gravity/time problem not a pocket problem.

Do you know the part number for the emergency triangle in the UK?

I would get rid of the pocket if I knew the carpet would recover...

Owners put all kinds of stuff (tool kit, oil bottle, jack) in that pocket and it gets out of shape. If you put the warning triangle in there is should look ok. The Porsche dealer can order one for you (~$30).
