FridgeFreezer Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 No photos but FFS don't glue things to it, and anything that can absorb moisture or trap mud is to be avoided. What are you trying to achieve - comfort, warmth, quiet...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dred90 Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I used black camping mat cut to shape, to cover the seat boxes and then used carpet glue to secure it in place, looks very tidy, if you take your time with it.. (no piccies as I've just sold the truck, but i'm definitely gonna do the same with my next project) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon White Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Mines just lined with mud. Easy and cheap to replace when it gets worn out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 B&Q do some chequerplate black rubber mat that looks quite smart. The problem with sticking stuff down is it traps water/mud behind it and then goes manky, and if you've glued it in place it's a right b*gger if it gets damaged or starts to come unstuck. It also means you have something holding moisture against the inside of your LR - the panels may be ali but the brackets and fasteners aren't.

dollythelw Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 mines lined with soggy fag packets mostly - not so good for comfort but about a 6db sound reduction speedliner it? (or whatever the trade name is for that spray on rubber pickup bed stuff is) looks mondo groovey - seems tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smo Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 B&Q do some chequerplate black rubber mat that looks quite smart. I've got this in the garage, makes a great work mat for lying on the drive too. Pux - i have just removed some genuine rubber footwell matt bits from a bulkhead i'm scrapping, they are both driver and passenger side, foam backed thich black dimpley rubber bits and they join in the middle behind the fuse box in a 90 - if they fit and you are interested then make me an offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were spot on about the chequerplate mat stuff, perfect for lining the cab, better get meself a couple of rolls before someone paints it orange and charges twice the price!!
