So, my confusion is -
When you say OE carpets - do you mean:
(1) The original floor matting - which the new car came with - that covers the whole floor, going inside the side bidding and central console bidding?
(2) Floor "Carpet Mats" sold as accessories by the OEM - like this one, from Maruti? Quote:

Exactly my conundrum!
I hate the vinyl look - but just don't know how to deal with the dust, mud and grime on the main carpet! Quote:

I was actually thinking of putting on the vinyl 'floor lamination' - and then covering it (hiding it, at least partly) with the OEM 'Floor Mat' that I linked above...
The Floor mat can be taken out and cleaned - while the vinyl will protect the fixed floor-carpet underneath.
Does that sound unreasonable?
The only worry with that arrangement would be the water-seeping-in-from-down-below issue...
Comments/ suggestions from more experienced people would be much appreciated. |
