Would something like duct tape do the job? It's reinforced and I would have
thought the glue should hold up to movement. You can get self-amalgamating
tape but I don't know if it would perform better.

Subject: [T3] Rubber Flormat Preservation
I have a set of nice rubber floormats in my '69 Fastback. These are the
large mats that connect the left and right sides and go over the center hump
-- one mat for the front and one mat for the rear. With some splits and
tears (caused largely by careless storage a few years
back) the mats have become pretty fragile. I would like to keep using these
mats, but I want to reduce the rate of decay and keep them intact. A couple
of months back I applied some PVC tape (pipe wrap) to the backsides of the
mats behind splits, but it does not stay stuck very well. Is there a
vulcanizing tape that would work here?
