Alternative to carpet lining?
Hi guys, I am looking at insulating,sound deadening and ply lining the rear of my caddy maxi. I love the look of it when it is carpeted but wondered if there is an alternative covering I could use?
Has anyone seen it done with anything such as rubber/vinyl? I only ask as we have two big hairy Akitas that would cover carpet in hair and it is very hard to remove. Any thoughts?

You get rubber flooring on eBay it's meant for garages and gyms I used this for my flooring. Would be easy to use if the van was all square but couldn't mould it to the corners like the carpet

You could maybe get this done http://line-x.co.uk/van-linings/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; it just looks like bed liner to me could do it yourself using bed liner.

This is the rubber flooring I was talking about. Easy to clean but would be hard to do walls of the caddy

Re: Alternative to carpet lining?
HI i have lined a few vans out with mega van mats carpet always looks good easy to use with high temp spray adhesive just have to take your time and practice makes perfect. I am sure there is lots of information on this forum on how to line out your vanKevlo wrote:Hi guys, I am looking at insulating,sound deadening and ply lining the rear of my caddy maxi.

Re: RE: Re: Alternative to carpet lining?
Is it the fiberglass lining u have from sirus? If so does it reduce the road noise much ? I am thinking of getting it put in mineAmelia wrote:How's about GRP panels from Sirius automotive expensive but great chuck anything in the back then just wash them down wouldn't swap mine now
