Some years ago I used some of that kitchen shelf liner stuff, adheres like Post-it notes. It was ok, not great. A month ago I cut some short pile, charcoal grey, indoor outdoor carpet and lined the shelves with that. It came from Canadian Tire, I bought a section for the cabin floor and I had enough left over for the cupboards. In the top loading cubbies I just cut the carpet to fit, but on the other cupboards I cut and glued the stuff down, even wrapping over the exposed edge of the shelf to the right of the fridge. I also lined the open shelf at back hatch. 

It looks pretty good and I do think it cuts down rattling noise from pots and pans.
