I hear you on that.
It's kind of a shame to have to get these to protect a carpet that is too hard/expensive to repair, when a simple rubber mat would have sufficed in the first place. It's not like you're going to walk around the car in your bare feet, after all. Too bad they couldn't just do a plastic/rubber mat with a simple one-way drain in a nice low spot.
Too simple, I guess.
