I have a '69 Super Bee, the mat that was installed by a previous owner doesn't line up at the cut-outs at the wheelhouse joints and at the tail light supports. Is there one that actually fits?

I wonder why no one will make a quality repro Mopar trunk mat??

It got some kind of goop on it while I was at a car show, and when I got home I got a rag to wipe it off. I used too harsh of a chemical to clean it with, and it made a big black streak of the dye used to make the pattern on the mat. OOPS!

None of the repros are trimmed correctly. The ACC ones are the best color, pattern and fit but you need an original for a template in order to trim the repro to fit better. I have templates for the 69 Plymouth and Dodge B-Bodys and have trimmed them for a few of the A12 and Hemi guys. You can't just throw a repro in the trunk and expect it to fit like factory. That would be too much to ask from these vendors supplying "restoration" parts!
