Guys has anyone done this in Pune? Would like to get the details of the shop (that sells the Durosoft noodle mats) as I also want to do this DIY on my Punto.

[_nitink_]

Since I love to keep my car absolutely clean, I decided to put noodle mats in my car. Did it as a DIY. I brought 20 sq ft of the mat at ₹45 per sq ft.(we know the since we always buy all the required things from that shop. his salesperson said tgey sell it for ₹60 per sq ft.)
I planned to install these beneath the rubber mats. Here is the final output.
(sorry for the picture quality as they were clicked in low light conditions under a flash.)


Passenger side. The rubber mat was taken out before clicking this.

This is the driver's side. Note that the rubber mats are in their desired place.

The left rear side.


The right rear side .

I wanted to secure the sides and the carpet which is not covered by rubber mats. Do note the mat which is placed below the passenger seat.
I used velcro tape to keep the mats in place bought from a local shop. Got it for ₹30 per metre.

Thanks Dramtin for the schematic. I tried it myself today on my new Ecosport 2018, and the measurements are spot on. The mats have come out very well.

For those in Pune, I got the mat from Ashapura Trading company, in Bohri Ali. The shop is right on Bohri Ali chowk, Ravivar Peth. Checkout the location in Google maps, the location is correct. Mats manufactured by Softurf. I got 4x5 ft @ 60 rs/sqft. Mat quality is good, it has a pattern on the back side to prevent slipping.

I bought the same type of noodle mat from Jai Bharathi. I picked the Durosoft brand for Rs.100 per sqft. I am able to see the difference between this and the 60 rupees one. This has more density. Your DIY was awesome. I never did anything except cutting based on your measurements for my Ecosport. The job was neatly done. Thanks a lot, Jude...

Happy to hear that my DIY is helping people. And as you have mentioned, the quality is a lot better and it still looks neat on my old EcoSport which my brother owns now even after 5.5 years. Only the driver side one had to be replaced as the rubber noodles came off by the constant grounding of the heals.

Well, here is the solution to prevent driver side mat damage in the heel area. Though I found it online for US $4, I think one can find it with some accessories dealer for more or less the same price.

Really looking forward to this DIY project. Need some help though, Does anyone know where I can find Durosoft in Gurgaon. Local shops near my place are having a poor quality product, and I am pretty sure their rubbery smell won’t go.

Thanks.

Got the car fitted with Durosoft noodle mats at Velan Emporium, thanks to your update. I was not a tbhp member then. Didn't face any smell issues due to the mat. It is advisable to take someone along with you for the job due to the parking and surroundings issue.

For my car, I was giving many instructions during marking session, which was obliged. If you leave them to do the marking completely, the end result might not be satisfactory. So give instructions and get the job done based on how you want it. I did not put the rear seat mat as one whole unit. Divided into two equal halves since this will make removing(& setting it) the mat easy for cleaning. This way, one would be able to cover the floor under the front passenger seat areas too. For the floor hump alone, I went for a rubber sheet.

For installation, they don't charge extra. But I gave the installation guy extra since he followed my instructions. Was very satisfied with the end result. I don't remember the exact cost, but it came around 2500rs for my swift including boot. The cost was calculated based on mat length which was 90/sq ft.

Greetings,

You can purchase this from a store on Jharsa Road near Gurgaon Nursing Home. I am sure you can navigate to it using Google maps. The landmark can be put Gera medical store as well. They have Softurf and not Durosoft and charges ₹50/ft.

Thanks.

Check on Indiamart. Rate should be around Rs. 525-600 per sq. ft.

Are you sure? Or is there a typo in your note?
I did but of shopping around: rates are between 50-70₹ /sq ft (based on noodle density, color as well as the base material).
I bought 10 ft of a 4ft wide roll, Moooore than enough for Ertiga and still left with some for covering those ugly exposed screws in the bottle holder at last row.

Will post few pictures shortly.

Here are pictures from the cutting process:











Off topic: I am unable to edit my previous post. Can anyone help or point to me to right resource?

My bad, I quoted for the rate for the 3M Nomad. Not the look alikes. Yes, you are right at 50-70 range for the non branded stuff.

Have anyone did this for 5th Gen City? Do you have the measurements?
