How do I replace my car’s carpet with rubber?
My car came with all-weather floor mats, but they just aren’t doing the trick for my family. We do a lot of camping, even in winter, and the carpets take a serious beating. I’ve seen people with rubber instead of carpets, so how do I replace my car’s carpet with rubber?
