Thread: Boot Mats

I bought a "rubber" boot floor mat on ebay. It was molded to fit rear cargo area and has sides that prevent spills overflowing. I had a cargo barrier installed and it still sat in ok as it simply raised up a little (not much at all) where it met the barrier. It is sturdy yet flexible. I put my wife's roller/walker in the back and simply run the back wheels over the rear lip without any problems as it simply flexes as the wheel s pass over it. I haven't bothered to cut out access holes to the tie downs but this would be a simple thing to do with a sharp knife. I also bought rubber floor mats as well and they fit quite well but I only use them if I go 4WDing. I had bought them before I took delivery and then the car came with mats installed by the dealer even though I hadn't ordered them

Just make sure you get ones that fit the MY14 - I would presume it's exactly the same as the MY13 etc but it doesn't hurt to check.

I bought one of these for my D3:

What have you got, what shouldn't I get?
Are the big moulded mats you see on ebay any good?

I'm not alergic to spending a few dollars if it does a good job of protecting the car.

I got a molded cargo one on eBay good thick rubber has no rubber smell at all very playable came all rolled up just sat it in the sun for half an hour and went back to normal and was only about $140 or so has a nice non slip and says booter.com on it and I think the Land Rover one was quoted at about $500 so yeah just couldn't justify the extra money.

When we took delivery of our "Almond" interior MY14 one of my first priorities was protecting the boot floor carpet from the abuse of daily family duties...

We had a plastic/rubber mat with the rim around the edge in our previous Subaru and while it did a good job of protecting the boot floor it did irritate us a bit by sliding around on the floor, and heavier plastic items would slide around on top of it. I was also worried about what to do when I suddenly wanted to use the rear seats but had this awkward mat to try and stash somewhere...

This time I went to a carpet shop, bought a $40 loop-pile carpet mat which almost exactly matched the floor colour, took it home and cut it neatly around the boot shape, then took it back to get it "edged" professionally for another $40.

So for $80 all up I have a mat which looks like it was sold for it, and when I want to use a rear seat I can just roll it up behind the back row in 10 seconds. It is not waterproof but will take the abuse for a few years when I just plan on getting another one.

Won't really suit if you need something waterproof but works for us!

I got a basic $50 mat from Clark rubber. It is very easy to trim to fit but I used the oversized flaps near the tailgate to protect the sides near that area. Being cheap I would have no concerns cutting access to the tie downs.

I had the genuine LR rubber mat thrown in buy the dealer,and mats in all the footwells as well.

So i have no idea how much they are worth,but seem to do the trick.

Thanks everyone. I got the rubber mats thrown in on the deal but didn't even think about getting the one for the boot.

My concern with the ebay mats is are they likely to cause things to slide around in the boot...

I like the idea of the custom carpet for the boot, that was a nice touch.

I got a rubber one thrown in by the dealer. It's sitting in the shed collecting dust. I ended up with one from www.hatchbag.co.uk Very happy with the fit and durability. I've had it for 18mths or so now.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1406543975.178243.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1406543998.742373.jpg
