We bought a new toyota pickup for our agricultural contracting buisness, and we were wondering about interior liners for the footwell to stop it getting mouldy. Is there any plastic liner we can put down and seal it from water?

Not had god experience with them. Water gets under them and because they move about they scuff and scratch the load bed. Eventually you end up with a rusty load bed you were hoping to avoid.

I would go with a heavy duty rubber/ply floor you can easily remove and clean out.

The other alternative is the spray on liners which are pretty effective and if they get damaged/scraped you just spray a bit more on

Errr sorry i missread that.

Maybe tell people not to put their muddy feet all over the interior. Clean boots inside?

Never seen anything to protect the plastic interior other than mats

I'll look in the works Hi-Lux tomorrow to see what it has, but think it is just heavy duty rubber mats. May be plastic actually as it's the most basic of basic spec for getting mud filled. Not sure I would want to hose it out the same as my Land Rover though.

I use a copy of the free newspaper, under a heavy duty rubber mat, change it every few days in winter as it gets soaked, suprising how much water mud, you fdrag into a van.

Best car I ever had for this sort of thing was an old Volvo 340, it had great big plastic trays which you could fill with sloshy mud and it wouldn't bother the carpets underneath!

I bet Mitsubishi do something like this but they'll probably cost an arm and a leg!

Works one is with someone working away at the moment, but it is the super basic one with vinyl footwells. One of the lads knew as he is the one who cleans it out.

Could see if you could get one to retro fit, but there are probably a lot of plastic clips in those things, bloody enormous dashboard.
