Industrial carpet. Jet washes clean. By far the better option in my view.

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but I was looking at these today - has anyone got them in their van? How's the fit? Would they recommend them? They look to be great value.

I have the ebay ones too - nicely made and very strong.
I glued in the vertical pieces and left the three floor pieces removable.

Good second hand ones are already 30 years old. They do clean up (in some cases) but look nowhere near as good as a new set.

The holy grail is the bits that go over wheel arches as its a complex curved surface and they need to be moulded sections. I don't know of any kits that include those, or of they do, they're flat and need darts cut into them and lots of glue.

That's exactly the reason I've not pressed the button on buying just yet. My van's original rubber cab mat's still in fairly good condition and is a perfect fit over the wheel arches, I'm going to try and clean that up properly before I decide. I do think I'll end up going ahead however - thanks again for your help :ok

I bought the e-bay ones and they just dont fit well at all. The wheelarch sections in particular are hopelessly misshapen, my advice - avoid.
