Re: RUBBER MAT IN DEUCE
Marlin
Is there a difference in a 1970 Nova 2dr compared to 4dr rubber mat? If so is it just size? None of the parts books specifies this.

Re: RUBBER MAT IN DEUCE
Did these rubber mats have any pattern embossed into them other than the overall graining? We came across a repro set for our '69 300 Deluxe SS396 Chevelle and they are plain pebble grained.

Re: RUBBER MAT IN DEUCE
The remnants of mine were just some pebble type grain and was black underneath and blue like the rest of the interior on top. I also noticed it is very thin stuff. would cars have had A pad underneath or just the rubber flooring?

Re: RUBBER MAT IN DEUCE
I looked at the mat and it definetly has pebble grain texture. It doesn't seem real thin though. It also appears like it was originally black. The interior of the car is tan.

Re: RUBBER MAT IN DEUCE
Our repro rubber mats came from Ohio Mat, I believe. They came with some front floor insulation. The thickness is fine but they are as stiff as a board when cold. Out in the heat of the sun they become very pliable. Definitely not a winter install project. The car came with carpets when we bought it so I don't have originals to compare to.

Re: RUBBER MAT IN DEUCE
The original mats have a much larger grain than the repos. Old mats are quite brittle, very hard to remove without breaking. They did have jute insulation under them. Heat does help. Schonye

Re: RUBBER MAT IN DEUCE
be careful with the mats i just had a trunk redone on a driver and it had a mat . sudden temperature changes will create condensation and sweat and no where for the moisture to go guess what it ends up like, rust in the trunk pan, i removed my mat right away only to never install again, will roll up and lay in trunk for a show only.
