Wait until Winter. The metal that comprises your car will expand in the cold and you will have moar space.

i came very close 2 times doing that. so the thrid mdf box i built for my car was built inside my trunk. lol

have you tried this, remove the trunk floor board, remove the spare tire, remove the trunk lock latch, remove the trimming all around the trunk opening.

then slide the box in LONG ways. hopefully it will slip into the crater where the tire would be. at this point a smapp portion of the box should still be sticking out. well, here you have to push the box out a bit, enter the car and from the rear seats take the box and start turning and twisting it. you may be able to get it in.

question, what car is this and can we get pics of the opening and the box?

I always make a template of the side of the box and measure sure its going to fit before i build the box, Just a lil advice i guess a lil late now but may help in the future.

wtf talk about leaks galore.

If done properly, it wont leak. You would need to make a clean cut, then use cleats inside the box. say 2" on each side off the cut. glue and screw one side on. let dry. then assemble the box in side the trunk. Just as jour sliding it together, load the seam up with glue. join it, and screw it. then after its dry, caulk the seam from inside thru the sub hole. and bondo the seal outside. its a lot of work, but it can be done. Im not talking about using a jigsaw either. Like laying the box on a table saw and talking 3"-4" inches off one side to get it to fit.

Alternatively, use a table saw to take off what you need on one side to make it fit, then add a new side panal. it will be a smaller box, but thats who i see it.
