Re: Rubber mats - not carpets?

My 1955 traveller came with fitted rubber mats, they were in very poor condition torn and shredded.
I discarded them, I bitterly regret not trying to repair or save them, it was only a drive to work car, at that time.

On my S11 I raised the rear by 1-1/2" and moved the whole seat back one hole pitch, by drilling extra holes and fitting a drilled and tapped plate underneath. Also in the sponge base, I filled the pocket holes with extra car washing sponge, to make them firmer, my seats have the solid base. It ...
