Low cost back seat cocoa floor mat alternative

Post by NealW » Mon Jun 24, 2024 5:29 pm

The 1911 touring that I restored came with a back seat floor cocoa mat that was in pretty poor shape. I put it back in the car after I was finished, because a new one from the vendors was close to $100. I'm not sure that its even available right now, because Snyder's shows it as discontinued.

This past weekend the wife and I were in Kansas City visiting one of our sons and stopped at their IKEA store. I found this floor mat that looked a lot like the cocoa mat in our car, but for $9.99. I took a gamble and bought it, not knowing how well it fit. It turns out it fits just fine. I needed to cut it to 29" to fit side to side. It would have been nice if it was a little longer fore and aft, but it is close enough and I finally have floor mat that doesn't continue to crumble each time someone gets in the back of the car.

You can order the mat online from IKEA too:
