I made my own from rubber backed carpet. And it was free as it was an off-cut from someone's house that was going to be thrown away!

I like that idea Kev - sponge backed carpet would work too.

Thinking about it, i have a nice bit of Flotex is was given as an off cut, that's rubber backed!

They must be easy to make with a cut for the single seat when any combo of the back seats is up or down. However, the 'original' has no inbuilt comfort level! It is rubber with a woven ply and a 'rough' grip outer surface. Bob

I probably wouldn't both with the cut for the 60/40 split rear seat Bob, generally if i need to put one back seat down then i need both down.
As i rarely (if ever) have back seat passengers and usually need the back seats down anyway, they both usually live down.

Besides, any cut to allow the seats to split independently would defeat the object of the cover for me as it would also allow the sandy, gritty soil from the local area to get through.
