Help ? Looking for mat that would cover entire caro area

[mdf]

I took my rear seat for a home depot run and realized how much more practical it was to keep it out. But now I'd like to get a mat (hopefully with matching pair with front) that covers the entire cargo area.

Does anyone know who sells or would have the pattern to make a set ?

Thanks

I have a rubber truck bed liner in mine.

I know there's been some threads on the subject. I'll post links if I can find them.

Here's a link to the best one I've seen. This guy used Hexomat and it turned out great (IMHO).

If you happen to see any at Costco let me know --and I may have to pick up a roll myself to do the rest of the floor and the driveline hump. Carpet is too "domestic" rather have all diamondplate flooring. Here is another source:

Scroll down and you'll see they used it for a vehicle as well!

I'm going to be using that material on my truck this weekend. Should turn out great.

I just took a large piece of dynamatt and used a cardboard cutout template I made and cut to size works great.

I was hoping to get carpet with matching front mats

[janodes]

A good auto trim shop should be able to make a set of mats for you. They take automotive carpet,sew it to a rubber mat for backing, then bind the edges together. You can even get the carpet embroidered with a VX logo. The downside is the expense. Any custom work like this is likely to cost hundreds of dollars. The chance that some aftermarket MFGs make a back carpet for the few people who remove their seat is unlikely.
I have removed my back seat [and am trying to sell it] and am contemplating making a mat set as described. I have removed the seatbelts and all seat related hardware. I am also looking at boxing in the rear foot well area and creating a hidden storage while leveling out the floor. I have many projects going for my VX at present and when and if I ever do this I post pix.

Seems that the practicality you liked for your Home Depot run would be ill-served by a carpet "mat" - as janodes indicates above it will likely be expensive and wear out fairly quickly depending on how often you use it for cargo.

Most all-weather mat companies offer matching mats for the cargo, rear seat, and front seat areas. The Hexomat material that I mentioned earlier can also be purchased for the front seats so everything would match front to back.

Just my $.02.

That's the truth if I ever heard it.

I like the rubber diamond-plate as well as the hexomat. One of our members even used the rubber diamond-plate for a headliner. I think these would be more functional than carpet, as stuff wouldn't slide around as much, and you can always keep the carpet as the mats up front. I don't see a problem with the front seat carpet not matching the cargo area, but hopefully we've given you some good ideas.

Try this (updated) link. It shows an install in a vehicle towards the bottom. The company sells stuff for gyms. I plan on doing this to the cargo area and working my way forward when I have time. Pretty cheap for a roll. I already used it for my seat backs.

I used that stuff to replace my carpet just yesterday. Works GREAT!

Check out the pics from the install, maybe it will help you decide.
