Title: Repairing a C6ZZ NOS trunk mat
Post by: 6s1640 on June 14, 2019, 02:24:40 PM
Hi all,

Dose anyone have any secrets to repairing these NOS trunk floor mats.  I have one I purchased years ago that has the cracks in the corners and in random locations.  If I can repair, that would be great.  I realize these mats are not the best, but if I can salvage this mat, I would prefer to.

I tried attaching aluminum tape to the back side, but the tape would not stick.  Are these C6ZZ NOS mats rubber or Burtex?  I am hearing rubber.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Cory

The 65/66 mats are made of a rubber type material not Burtex.

I would try one of these guys that repair vinal/leather seats. they got all the stuff. I use Jimmys upholstery in Bellevue. if you can bend the matrial and it breaks, its dried out to much. phred
