Rubber Floor Mats?

[Jafman]

Okay so the OEM carpet mats were thrown in with the sale. I've come to the conclusion that carpet mats are dirt traps and was wondering what everyone recommends as good rubber mats? I'd like them to cover as much of the floor as possible including over the slight floor hump in the middle row, around the sides of the middle row towards the third row and finally in the third row footwells.
Options / opinions most appreciated!

[TuffRR]

The Land Rover ones are really good for front and middle rows. Not sure if you can also get it for 3rd row.

I've had these for about 18 months but have just worn a hole through under my heel on driver's mat.

Fit in the front was good but given I'm not in the car that much I'm disappointed at them wearing through. They don't cover the hump in the 2nd row either.

Based on recommendations here I just ordered LR mats for first and 2nd rows. They have pretty good coverage of the hump in 2nd row. Part #VPLAS0252

For third row the part # is EAH500100PMA

There was a mention of Sandgrabba mats being very good and becoming available too but I don't think they're available yet.

I've got the rubber LR mats in my D3, front and middle row (didn't bother with the 3rd row), and they are excellent quality and fit as you would hope.

[SBD4]

I had the genuine rubber mats for 5 years, they cover the carpet completely across the second row and I had no issues with wearing through on the heel area of the right foot. The vehicle covered 170,000 km in that time so they had plenty of use. They have reasonably deep square sections to trap dirt and water to help prevent runoff from the edges on to the carpet.

The only improvement I would like to see them make would be to the drivers side mat so as to have it also cover the left foot rest so that it could catch more of the crap that falls off the left boot.

[LRD414]

I have the genuine rubber mats too and agree with comments above. Only improvement I would like is more coverage towards the seat for the front row ones. There is some exposed carpet but feet don't go there very often.

Thanks for your input all. Looks like LR mats are the go then. What should i expect to pay for them? Also what does the boot liner go for?
Cheers.

[sheerluck]

Not that this is much of a benchmark....but I got my mats (new) and boot liner (used) on Gumtree.

$50 for the mats, and $20 for the boot liner. :angel:

[jonesfam]

I can not remember what I paid back in 09 but I do recall they weren't cheap BUT,
The proper L/R ones are pretty good, the second & third row covers most bits & there is even a little rubber extension that sits where people climbing into the third row put their foot.
I don't have a cargo mat, some old towels & blankets do OK & are easy to tuck away when all 7 seats are up.
Jonesfam
BTW after 7 years of hard use I have a small tear in the middle row mats.

[LRD414]

I paid $520 two years ago for the mats (front & 2nd row) plus boot liner, which was $220 of the total cost. And the boot liner is very good. Purchased from dealer.

I bought carpet floor mats and a dash mat from Custom Car Mats in Vic about 6 months ago for another vehicle, and am happy with the fit and quality, so I plan to buy a set from them for our new D4.

Great stuff thanks guys, will look into it!

[LandyAndy]

As with the others,I have the factory rubber matts,dealer threw them in with the deal.Very good,yes my left boot dirties the carpet too.They have a clip that is very easy to undo to shake the dirt off and they dont shift around.
I have nothing out back,even ditched the 3rd row seats.
In my D2 I had a generic mat for the year from supercheap,that was good,is now a floor mat at the lathe in the shed.

Mine are from auto barn- Do a great job in the front, had to cut a little recess bit out of the middle for the rear to make them sit properly. About $80 I think. They are coated in mud today which is great as my carpet is not :D
mine look like at streetwise brand on their web site but mine has a long straight bit for the back. The back of mine has loads of plastic spikes which grip the carpet well.

Just a heads up that in a couple of days there will be a special available on the official Land Rover D4 rubber mats from Alto Land Rover.

Hmm does anyonr know if the d3 mats fit the d4?ive found a set for sale but it's too far away to drive just for a test... Plus mine is in the shop for a week or 3...

If I buy the mats will they throw in a free vehicle? :)

Yes, but the mats cost upwards of $80k. [emoji15]

[Jafman]

Okay, so I originally asked about floor mats. I think I'm set on going for the OEM rubber ones and happy to go for an aftermarket boot liner of some kind. Next question is dash mats? Who has one? Obviously they're going to protect the leather dash from the harsh sun and heat we get here, but imho I think it's a shame to cover such a quality feature. Are the disco dashes prone to fading / damage and if so what does everyone do to combat this without a dash mat?

Cheers

[LandyAndy]

As long as you are running the factory glass it shouldnt be an issue,they have very good UV blocking.
Use a good interior cleaner with added UV protectant and you are doing the best you can.

I tried these ebay rubber mats and boot liner mat. They are fairly robust have good lip to catch the crap which has been great for catching a gallon of water leaked in the boot avoiding a mess several times. They don't cover the middle hump but cover most other floor space. I like the fact the fixing holes align with the car fixings on front ones but had to drill out the rear holes.


I cant compare to official LR ones as I haven't tried them, but they have been used for nearly 3 years now and still good condition even after lots of items thrown in the boot regularly.

Mine is over 4 years old now and has never been fitted with a dash mat. Dash still looks like new. ;)

It spends a fair bit of time outside in the sun, and I use a good quality leather cleaner / protectant on it about 4 times a year.

I just bought the LR floor mats so have a set of those ebay floor mats if anyone wants them (for free, just PM me - I'm in Ryde area) - they do have a small heel hole in the driver's mat though.

[chuck]

The LR rubber mats are covered by warranty, 3 years if you buy them with the car, 2 year if you buy them stand alone.

I had my front ones replaced under warranty from wearing a hole in the drivers mat.

If you are after a dash mat, these

are referred to in another thread and like me a number of D3 owners have them. Quite good for the price and fit well.

I received an email from Brad Griegg at No Bull Accessories and he says the SandGrabba Mats are near completion and available shortly. Had a set for over 4 years on a Patrol and as new when removed them. Every so often I would just remove and give a scrub and stayed dark black and no staining.

[Russrobe]

Not sure if this is apart of the sale mentioned or even cheap but Southerns just quoted me $260 for a set of Land Rover D4 Mats

[DrOsteo]

I was quoted $189 at Alto

[DrOsteo]

Got my OEM mats today. They look great. All 3 rows for $298 from Alto.

[Russrobe]

6 months on and i finally got to Southerns to pick some of these up!https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2017/02/466.jpg Much better.

God knows why the instructions tell you to trim back the rear bits that go under the seats. Or put tape where the screws go in the back...

I've got the same ones, front and rear, and they've worked well for me. Can't offer any explanation for those mysterious instructions ............................... you actually read the instructions ????? :p:p:p

[chuck]

For those that have worn a hole in the drivers front rubber mat I got mine replaced under warranty as they were supplied with the car when new and as such were subject to 3 years warranty.

[Redback]

I have the OEM mats in our D4, 6yrs now, still in great nick, in the D2 I had R.M.Williams rubber floor mats, they are now in the daughters Amarok, 11 years old now, still in great nick.

Fit my car are not doing rubber mats for the D3

[RHS58]

I have Sandgrabbas. Highly recommend.

[350RRC]

Aldi, $20 for the set of four . Sit like buckets in the footwells F&R. They fit many, many different vehicles due to moulded crease lines.

Just lift them out to tip out the gravel and sand.

Might not suit all because they don't interface with a BECM.

[loanrangie]

Can't beat the original LR fitted rubber mats.

[DieselLSE]

But how do you know they need to be cleaned without a dash warning message?

[Moggymitch]

Another vote for the Sandgrabba mats.

The sides keep all the sand and mud contained.

[BMKal]

I have the OEM rubber mats that clip in to the vehicle in front and middle rows. They are good, but do not stop sand in particular getting under them and into the carpet.

When going bush or to the beach on fishing trips, I throw a couple of Sandgrabba style mats that I previously bought for work Prado's in the front on top of the OEM LR mats, and then take them out when I'm home. Does the job for me.

I’ve found the LR rubber ones to be good enough. Minimal vacuuming needed afterwards. Not perfect but catch most of it.
