[FC] Rubber Mat

[Paul Steinberg]

If you can find some rubber strips and using tire rubber cement, you could vulcanize the strips across the tears from underneath, and then reinstall it on the floor.  The only problem that I see is if the kids step directly on the repairs and cause any stress that might tear the repair loose.  I would also install new jute under the rubber to cushion everything.

  Guys is there any way to repair my rubber floor mat in the back of my
  Greenbrier where the seats are? The mat is all there but it has some
  long tares in it that I was hoping fix. I was wondering if I could flip
  it over on a nice flat surface and glue some tape over the cracks from
  the back so that when you flipped it back they would not be as
  noticeable and would not come apart or get any worse. I was thinking
  like vulcanizing glue like you use to patch a tube with. Also are there
  any tricks to making old rubber more lively?
