In this review, we will talk about one to the ugliness of a very simple but useful thing that is useful in every passenger car (especially new). She presents a metal sheet, which is curved in a special way, repeating the bends of the floor in the cabin near the driver's seat.
Thickness is approximately 1 mm. The sheet is primed and varnished. Why is this "armor" necessary? Everything is simple here - during the operation of the car, the right leg is constantly on the gas and the heel rests on the floor.
Thus, in this place, over time, the sealant misses along with the linings (most often they are made of polystyrene foam), which are under the rubber mat. This problem can be solved very simply - using a conventional metal sheet.
Extra protection never hurts
If the groove has not yet formed on the floor in the place where the heel rests, it’s good. But sooner or later this can happen. And then dirt, dust, sand and water will accumulate in the hole in the floor.
Therefore, it is better to be safe right away, and make additional protection against wear. Moreover, nothing special, in fact, will not have to be done. Simply bend the millimeter metal sheet to the shape of the floor (if it is uneven) and put it under the rubber mat. That's all the work.
Here is such a simple but useful metal "armor" for the floor in the passenger compartment of the car will avoid premature wear of some materials. Details can be found in the video on the site.
