This is awesome, you have given me some inspiration.

ShoNUFF · 04-16-2013, 01:53 PM

might have to do this. I already have 2 holes in my drivers side mat.

Seems like a great idea, the mats are to nice looking to wear out so fast, will have to find something to Velcro or sew on them. Thanks for the post

Love this idea, and have been wanting to recreate this for awhile now.

Unfortunately I can't seem to find a decent enough rubber floor mat that would transfer well here in Adelaide. I've looked at a couple of hardware stores. (Bunnings, Mitre 10.) but haven't seen anything quite suitable yet.

Oh well, i'll keep looking!

Hot weather = melty adhesive on the velcro. I suggest supporting it with superglue. Otherwise your matts will end up with melty melty glue. I had to redo mine due to this "hot mess" =)

So I went and got a heal pad sewed in. Local upholstery shop did a excellent job on it. I think this simple mod will really extend the life of our OEM mats.

Looks fantastic! Where did you get the heel pad to sew into the mats by the uhpolstery shop?

Thanks, I actually just gave them the mat, told them what I wanted and this is what I got. So I'm not totally sure where it came from might have been something that they already had or might have been ordered.

I will do this today, thanks Great Idea!!!!

I had a hole in my floor mat so I finally got around to doing this.

It's a bit like they say in Chernobyl: not great, but not terrible either. And for $2, I can't complaint.

MJones_RB · 09-25-2020, 02:22 PM

I found a metal one on ebay, attaches with some hex screws. I really have no idea how I wore a hole straight thru my OEM mats but I didn't want to spend $$$ just to wear thru a new set.

alex87f · 09-25-2020, 03:00 PM

Hey that's pretty smart! I might give that a try later
