Re: Rubber Floormats -- Again

Maybe if you put some 30lb tar paper (roofing underlayment) down before mat. Seems that my truck has some kind of tar paper on top of white foam then the mat.
Might help to keep from drying out. Just a thought

Yessir. My truck has always had the white closed-cell foam pad laid down first, followed by a thick heavy tar-like layer (heavier than 30lb roofing), with the rubber floormat on top. When I installed the last mat, the foam and the tarpaper were both in poor condition so I got new ones and put them in. Darned if I can find the receipts though, so I'm not sure where I bought them. I bought the floormat from Wes, so I probably bought the underlayment materials from him too. But I don't see them on his website anymore, just the mat. Which is all I need, but the last one I bought from him is falling apart already, so.....
