i put some ribbed rubber matting on the carpet in the front - it stained the grey carpet with a green tinge -

Just use it and clean it. Do you have mats and rubber flooring on the carpets at home?

I think it might be the soft, “squidgy” feeling when you stand there that people don’t like, WG, not that it gets dirty.

Well putting more mats on top ain’t going to change that.

We have a really useful box there too and it is “really useful” - to store stuff in, like books, knitting, etc, and as a step to the dog to get up to his bed on the passenger side (UK) that stays facing forward. I glued a piece of carpet to the lid as it was a bit slippy for the dog. You can see it in the photo.

Love that box idea!

I've slide a small chopping board under the carpet mat in this area for exactly the same reason. Not only does it firm that area up it's a perfect spot for a backup chopping board ! Haha

Apologies for resurrecting this thread which I am pleased to have stumbled upon. Not only am I now relaxed about the soft bit of floor, but I am intrigued by this brilliant space saving idea.
How is it held in place, and what is the backing board?

Nothing holds it in place apart from it being quite a snug fit between passenger chair and handbrake. I like it easy to move as it gets slid towards the cab when we use the ladder to get up top. If you wanted it secure perhaps very strong velco would do it at the sides.
Don’t know what you mean by the backing board, Kev.!

Ah, it’s the large kitchen gadget holder in the picture that intrigues me rather than the box .
Having said that, the box does look nice and snug too.
Coincidentally I have literally today fitted the exact same rugs too.

It doesn’t rattle at all.

By backing board do you mean the pegboard on the back of the passenger seat? If so here’s a whole post I wrote on it. Hope the message number link works.
