My '69 Square, brown rubber(?), rear deck mat seems to have "dried out" and
now is broken into two pieces. I've checked JBugs and CIP1. Neither
seem
to offer that item. Are there any other companies who may have a supply of
rear deck mats?
The reproductions available today are either gray or black.
Questions:
1. Is the mat held in place by a metal strip which "pinches" the forward
edge?
Yes,
2. Can the "anchor" be carefully "opened up", to release the mat?
Yes
3. If the mat can be removed and laid upside down on a flat surface, can
the transversely cracked mat be *effectively* mended with something like
FlexSeal Tape and/or FlexSeal Liquid?
Don't know, never tried it.
4. Does anyone have an OE mat in their"stash"?
Nope, mine deteriated. It was grayish blue for a 70 model.
I believe the repops wre black. Don't know IF ISP West had another run
made.
