I have the OEM mat, it isn't that great as all the crap slides around in the back now. Im sure there is a better material to make it out of, even plain rubber would work better as Josh said.

Great for taking the dog for a drive though.

There's a sweet mat that actually goes up the back of the rear seats and the headrests go through it. So when you fold the seats down and presumably put a bike/snowboard/etc in there, it's covering the whole lot instead of just the "cargo area".

But yeah, only ever seen one on YAJ and it was stuffed.

Luckily I have both of the factory mats, the rubber mat and the mat that runs up to the back of the seats for when you fold them flat.

About 2 months ago I did see a set of mats that covered the wheels arches that matches my mat but I forgot to bid on them. Never seen either of the mats before or after that on yahoo.

Wouldn't be too hard to get a trimmer to make one up, surely. Just got to find one that works for cartons.

Best bet would be for someone that has one to take it to a trimmer and get them to replicate it.

Is that the sound of a group buy starting up Jase?

I guess it would really depend on what everyone wants.

I'm pretty happy without one, but if I was going to get something it would be some sort of carpet that went up the back of the seats like we were talking about above, but with a washable, water resistant carpet. That way after a muddy day on the bikes it can be pulled out, hosed off and chucked on the line to dry.

So you would want it out of a marine type carpet? The factory one isnt carpet, it's a thin fabric with a thin rubber back.

I'll see what they can offer.

That's what I used. Just cut the right width and then make the cuts so that it sit nicely with the seats down (and covers the headrests too - my dog put his claw through the leather on one of them).

Cheap, easy and works very well.

I suppose. The fabric with rubber back would be just as suitable I guess. I'm not really that serious about getting one to be honest..

    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
    • Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.
