Question

Can I use rubber instead of carpet in my Jeep?

Community Answer

You could, but I'd make sure the rubber wasn't laying right on the metal floor as it would most likely trap moisture and could cause rust.

Question

What about backing/padding/insulation?

Community Answer

That depends on user preference. I prefer Dynamat Sound Deadener to give the car a more quiet ride.

Question

Do I preheat the underside of carpet before installing?

Community Answer

It's not necessary, but for best results, yes. It can be done with a hairdryer.

Question

What if I don't want to reinstall carpet? What other options are there?

Community Answer

You can paint the floor, as it often isn't painted from the factory, or use a bedliner-like material to coat the entire floor.
