Rear Cargo area carpet

My rear cargo area has no carpet or floormat.
Its just that slippery plastic.

I would like to put carpet in there but the dealer I spoke to says it is not made anymore and no available.
I suppose a rubberized mat would also do.
but I would want a rubberize one , not another slippery mat ( I know weathertech is pretty slippery from my XTerra weathertech there).

Anyone have any ideas or links?

I can't see why an automotive upholsterer wouldn't be able to make a carpet for the back of your Pathy?

When I bought our 2012 last year I went to Princess Auto and bought about 6 feet of their checker plate rolled rubber mat for $6/foot.

It's long enough to cover the entire cargo area with the 2nd & 3rd row folded down, and it's thin enough that when I need the back seats I just roll the mat back. It's nice and sticky so nothing slides around, and it's easy to vacuum up the million needles from the Christmas tree.

I'll have to look into that. :)

Great idea with the rubber mat. I'm thinking Weathertech mats front and second row. I took out the center seat in the second row to allow my wife or myself to walk back to the back seats if needed while the vehicle is in motion. It's left some bolt holes and metal in plain view and I was thinking about getting some universal tan rugs, but now I may actually go this route and run the rubber mat down the isle and line the third row seating too. May even line the rear cargo space if there's enough left.

Hopefully these mats don't stink.
