Rubber floor help
I put some new rubber flooring in my truck last year and I was wondering if there was a trick on getting it to fit snug like how do I get the creases out around the high hump cuz I figured it would start relaxing after a year but its still the same here's a pic......

You might try heating it up with a hair dryer and holding it in place until it cools. Be very careful with the heat though. LockDoc

Re: Rubber floor help
Did you use all the stock nubs that hold it in place? Do you have any kind of insulation or anything at all underneath?
I put mine in a year or so ago, used all the stock mounting points and used a brush on undercoating sound/heat shield on the metal floor underneath. It laid perfect from the get go. I wonder if more than one company manufactures these? Maybe I just got lucky with mine.

I second the hair dryer idea, or come hang out in LA for the summer- guarantee you it will be pliable  Quote:

Re: Rubber floor help
I bought one just like that from LMC and that looks like the way mine fits too.
