After struggling with the "Groceries Slide Everywhere" issue for a while I made an exploratory trip to WalMart and found a very workable solution among the housewares. For a whopping $12.49 this nicely edged, rubber-backed, non-slip rug fits very nicely after marking and cutting out the two parallel slots for the rear-seat floor latches. I just used a Sharpie to mark the rectangles, then cut them out with a box-cutter while resting the carpet on top of a large cardboard box.

The rugs were available in several colors including the gray I selected.



If the day comes it becomes too damaged or soiled to clean- it's replaceable for $12.49. If this were an "Official Honda Accessory" I'm guessing it would retail for $169.00

Just thought I'd share,

Steve

4rac,

I see you're in Overland Park. I'm in Lee's Summit!

As for front floor- the carpet is 40"X72" and only extends from the rear tailgate to NEAR the forward seats.

I had already bought a set of 4 floor mats from a local auto-parts store.

Good luck,

Steve

Robert,

Hmmmm... No, it was definitely in the housewares area with an assortment of other area rugs, throw rugs, runners, etc.

The width between the slightly-narrower shock-tower-intrusions in the cargo area is 39". This carpet piece is definitely 40" wide. If you look carefully in the photo you can see that it just SLIGHTLY lays up/over those two shock-tower indentations. My local Wal-Mart has it in blue, green and gray at least.

If this fails my next bet might be Target or Bed, Bath & Beyond- but I'd hit a big Super-Wal-Mart first to make sure. I suppose different Wal-Marts may carry different merchandise though. Good luck finding it.

Spaceman,

Well... sometimes the left brain doesn't know what the right brain is doing.

Puzzled- I went out and MEASURED the rug. I would have SWORN it was 40" X 72"...

But it turns out it *IS* 40" X 60".

I THINK what happened was that I had just ordered the Aerobed for the back too and it was 72" long and I had measured that to fit properly but THAT was with both front seats slid ALL THE WAY FORWARD.

Somehow that 72" figure stuck in my feeble old brain. Sorry for the confusion,

Steve
