Do you have a link to this acoustic foam in the rear deck cutout?
I have the trunk insulation installed and held in place with the plastic garnish but haven't permanently attached it since I've been looking for something to fill that hole before doing so. The insulation on it's own didn't much noise insulation on it own but I do like the finished look, especially because I've now installed butyl sound deadening material to the bare metal and this covers it.
Should be able to use the same existing holes for the bolts. Actually, since I posted, I found this same trunk liner available from another Amazon seller, and they provide plastic automotive fasteners rather than bolts.
The issue I found is that the holes in the body where the liner fits are too large for push pins so they supply regular bolts with interference tabs that cinch inside the holes. Be careful, I had one come off inside the upper deck lid during install and had to bang the metal repeatedly to get it to move enough so it would drop out!!

Just got my cover from eBay, but it didn't come with any fasteners or bolts to attach. Does anybody have any links to fasteners that worked well with them? The 10mm ones I have are too small for the holes.

I'm in the same boat. Just got mine yesterday and no fasteners as well. Looks to me like the hole sizes are 12.5mm and 14.5mm. However, I can't seems to find the push-in retainers in this size except in packages of 100 or more. I noticed that the type fastener shown in the pictures and installation videos is a sort of toggle bolt type fastener. It would work in a variety of hole sizes. Can't find these anywhere either.

There should be 6 toggle bolts in the kit, at least there were in mine otherwise the fabric won't hold well, 3M tape is barely enough. I'd contact the seller.

I contacted the seller. they are preferring that we buy the hardware locally and they will reimburse. I informed that the issue is finding the correct hardware. I don't mind buying it myself, I'm sure it's cheap.
The screws are required, but the double stick tape doesn't do as much. I tore back into my truck to tidy up a few things for my Hansshow automatic trunk and since my insulation was easily dropped, picked up some foam. In my case the top, rear trim piece seems to hold the insulation in place just fine. I do have some exterior grade double stick tape to add to it if it drops. Maybe I'll add more tape when my trunk/frunk upgrade comes in.
They are supposedly sending me a whole new package. Didn't ask that I return the old one. We'll see what I end up with. I'm not overly optimistic. Can you share the eBay link to the 13 & 14 mm rivets? I couldn't find any, except in large quantities.

Update - the 13mm rivets are too small. The 14mm rivets are about the right width for all but two of the holes - the holes in the left and right corner are a touch too small, so the rivets will go in, but won't clasp completely shut. The other holes will fit, but the rivets are a bit longer than we want, so the matt is held a little loosely (but still secure) to the metal.
That sucks. I hated the toggle bolts that came with my cover, but haven't had any trouble with it falling down. I'd prefer to use automotive push fasteners like this, but it might be difficult to find them bigger than 10mm.
Yeah, that 13mm fastener I linked above is what I was talking about. It's not falling down, by any means, it's just doesn't hold the mat exactly against the metal at all holes.
