Default 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.

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

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.
