Front carpet replacement with rubber?
So, I hate my Freedom tops cause they leak and soak my front carpets. I've tried to get them to not leak but no joy yet, and this is getting old. I'm just grateful that while Jeep couldn't manage to engineer good weatherstripping, at least they made the two front carpets separate from the rear and from each other - so pulling them out is pretty simple.
To my question: does anybody have a recommendation for a good molded rubber front floor covering that mimics the carpet's coverage area (not just a floor mat)? Sorta like what you'd get in a work or base model pickup truck...
That way at least if my tops leak it would be a lot easier to dry things out.
Any leads are appreciated!

I have that BedRug and it is greatness. easy to pull out and put in, durable, but gives a little refinement like carpet. Also, it's reasonably priced. Had it for years and it's held the test of time. i have a buddy that has Bed Tred, the more rubbery mat version. It's quite bit more expensive if I recall. I like the bed rug better.
BedRug looks like another good option! If water is spilled on the BedRug, does it just pool on the surface, or does it pass through to the steel floor? Just trying to understand what sort of material it is.
There is a thin layer of polypropylene foam on the underside. That would lead me to believe that water will not penetrate right through to the tub. I suspect what you're wanting is to simply leave the drain plugs out so that the water exits on its own. I'm happy to pull one out when i get home and fill it up with some water to verify for you.
