Cocomats

[Michael Oritt]

In anticipation of Conclave 2020 I purchased some cocomats for my car which arrived today. They are first class and look and feel a lot better than the Amco-type rubber mats they replace. The supplier-cocomats.com--is super-communicatve and had sent a full-sized pattern for my approval. Though they were a good fit I chose to shorten the driver's side mat by 1" so it would lie clear of the gas pedal. All tolled it took about one month from time of initial order until I received them.

I have Cocomats in three of my cars and like them very much. They have a bigger variety of types/textures/styles/colors now than when they first became so popular (1970s?), too.

I have them in my BJ8; very happy with them.

Yep, have them in mine also. Great you send them an actual template of what you need so they fit exactly. Far better than any of the other brands out there.

I have them in my car as well, custom-fitted to the modified footwell configurations of my nasty boy. A great product by a great company. I don't ever recall coco mats in British cars during the '50s and 60s and think of them showing up first in BMW 2002s. Anyone ever see them in LBCs in period?

Rick--

I first had cocomats in a 1965 Porsche 356 SC cabrio and I think you are correct in their never making it into the LBC community, but they seem to work okay in the 100. As I recall the early ones were simply a layer of trimmed woven material whereas now they are rubber-backed and hold their shape better without letting debris, etc. pass through to the floor of the car.

I have one small 'complaint,' and it's a very minor one: I wanted a squared notch, esp. on the driver's side, where the mat buts up against the bell housing cover corner. This would prevent the mat from sliding forward--a la Lexus' alleged problem--but apparently they can't stitch a perfect 90-deg cut so it came out rounded at the corner. I have Dynamat knock-off sound-deadening with a layer of the aluminum-backed shredded cloth--water heater insulation?--on top and the Cocomat has nubs on the underside so the mat won't slide. Before, I had a rubber aftermarket mat that I would constantly have to slide back with my foot while driving lest it interfere with the pedals.
