Rear Mat (for us who leave the seats folded)

hey y'all. I did my due diligence to see if this had been covered and I didn't find anything. I wanted a full coverage mat for when I put my bike or music gear in the car. I just leave the seats folded all the time anyway. I got two large rubber backed mats from Lowes. I cut the first one to fit the cargo area (when the seats are folded up) and the other one just trimmed slightly to fit over the folded down seats. Looks pretty clean, eh?

Hey, thanks for the suggestion, I'd not thought of that and it will save money as opposed to purchasing the factory mats.

looks nice,
so essentially its not a problem if you want to put the seat(s) back up because the mat is in sections right?

Its a great idea for more coverage Thanks!!!

totally, the seam is at the back of where the seats are when folded up. the front mat actually goes under the rear mat a few inches but since the black edge is cut off the rear mat it looks seamless. when you want to put up one side of the back seats I just fold it over and up it goes. Both seats up? - just roll it up and toss it in the back or use it to cover the floor boards when using "Magic Seat".

what exactly is the mat called? and what were your dimensions?

btw, have you thought about stapling the front mat to the rear seats so that you never have to fold them and that they're always on em? just curious .

do they slide around at all? i know they're rubberized and all, but you never know
