Replacing Boot carpet with rubber

I am sick of the permanent wet dog smell in the car.

I want to have all the rear carpets removed and trimmed with some kind of rubber. Has anyone had this done?

Been there done that with boot mats, hatch bags, trays etc. I just want the carpet gone from the back of the seats, floor (back of 3rd row), under 3rd row and tailgate.

Pelyma is right, if you want to avoid that smell you need to contain the dog/s. Thumbs Up

You could get search of an automotive trimmer in your area who could do as you suggested. Be aware of what this might do to resale value though.

Whilst not wanting to replace the whole boot carpet, I'd like to replace the carpet on the tailgate with something a little harder-wearing as the truck gets used for all sorts of things, and carpet there is going to suffer.

Anyone done this? (Someone must have!)

Thanks Guys

Had a Lintran and various transk9's no good for my 3 dogs, need maximum space and adaptability as we foster too.


Ill start my search, pinged an email off to a coach builder I have had dealings with.

You can buy a vinyl tailgate cover from Hatchbag. DiscoDunc was selling his own version of these as well.
From personal experience, I can recommend both

how about a piece of ply cut to shape and dropped into place over the original floor and another up the rear seats (the isofix brackets would make a good fixing point for the rear of the seats)?

This solution would not only stop the car smelling of dog but would dry out the dog too. Whistle

I did that with the last disco used phenolic plywood to make a box to the exact shape of the cargo area, it weighed a ton and wasn't easy for SWMBO to remove when we need 7 seats. We need to be able to get to 7 seat configuration regularly.
