Golf Boot Liner query

[bull]

Hi. I bought some offcut carpet for a small cost and had the edge overlocked which cost $28 for the overlocking.

In fact i made up 2 carpets for the boot floor so when the back seat is down i use the second carpet for protection of the back of the rear seat. The lining in the car boot can be used as a template for the size.

So all up it cost about $75. I leave the both mats in the back as it may also act as sound reducing ?

He is.. he just wants to know if a better price can be found.. the rest of us are offering alternatives

So you spend thousands and thousands of dollars on a car but $195 for an original boot liner is stretching the wallet? i don't get it.

you do the same for houses and furniture.. anyway it is about timing, priorities and budgets not philosophies

FWIW, I use an old picnic rug in the back. Can do double-duty when you get somewhere and need a rug...

i do the same... have a fold-up picnit mat that i deploy when necessary.

no need to baby the car - it's mine after all! i'm not going to go all ocd about preserving the boot for the next owner.

Only the problem with that mat is that it will smell like hell for a very long time. I bought it a year ago and removed it from the Tiguan next day, left it outside and 12 months later it still had a bad rubber odor. I wasted $40.

we had a similar experience with cheap rubber floor mats too. had to spray the mats with an expensive deoderant (the foam type you use on carpet) and let it soak in for a few hours. the smell went away after about 2-3 years?
