The boot mats look cool. And as it's a Canadian company, the price up here is almost better than the price in the States (for a change).

T1D3 for the trunk looks interesting, but I don't understand the "higher position" note.

The back floor cover can either be in a high position to provide a completely level surface when the back seats are down, or it can be in a lower position to provide a "sunken" trunk/boot space.

Yes, but it looks like it's in the lower position in the image. Then again, it could be the image's perspective.

This image? Note the position relative to the hatch latch, that's the higher position. The texturing might be making it look different.

I wish an Mini Cooper SE come without a rear sits bc for me they just useless a day I get SE I put them down and they never go up maybe bc I treat SE as 2 person car if I have a small kids I get a biggest SUV possible for safety of my kids any way .My babies are 50 and 47 as now .
 
Ah, I just did the first/second row. The boot stays pretty clean and I frequently access the storage underneath, seems like the mat would block that.

I have the OEM MINI boot mat and think it's perfect. I can raise the boot lid without taking the mat out. However, when I lower the lid, I often have to reposition one side of the mat back under the stub that lets you reposition the lid up to be flush with the seats. Also, I have to make sure the mat is all the way towards the back before raising the folded seats.
Amazon's $85 price may seem steep (it was $75 when I bought it), but I see other outlets selling the same mat for $103 and $106.

Today, I'm taking out the SE front carpets and installing my 3D Maxpider mats, which I really like (I have them for our Clarity, too).
 
I have the OE MINI mat for the boot as well, but I keep the panel in the lower position and am also adept at faffing with it as necessary. The TuxMat "SuperTrunk" set that covers the seat backs can only be used with the panel in the upper position because of the leading edge flaps, but I'd be ok with that too.
