As far as I know , no one reproduces the rubber trunk mats for stepdowns. There was someone making ones of a different material, though. Check the WTN adds.

Here's the trunk mat they offer:

That's a nice one, but it isn't rubber.

Here's a thought for something that might be a good temporary fix until the real thing comes along.

First off, I have no idea what a StepDown trunk mat looks like, but here is a black pebbled mat material, 3/32" thick, that seems to resemble generic mats of the period:

You buy it by the square foor in 3- or 4-foot widths, and it runs $4.24 a square foot. Here's where I found it: [url= http://www.americanfloormats.com/texture-kleen-rite-rubber-runner-mats/ ]http://www.americanfloormats.com/texture-kleen-rite-rubber-runner-mats/[/url]

They also make a black, 1/8" thick ribbed rubber mat as well:

Here's another company's 1/8" thick black matting, also a sort of pebble finish. (Maybe this stuff is generic, and everyone sells it?)

Here's a link to THAT company's webpage: [url= http://www.floormatcompany.com/rubber-floor-mats/runner-mats/tuff-n-lastic-anti-slip-flooring.html ]http://www.floormatcompany.com/rubber-floor-mats/runner-mats/tuff-n-lastic-anti-slip-flooring.html[/url]

Frankly, anyone who isn't a StepDown expert is probably going to look at this mat in your trunk, shrug, and assume it was the original mat! Who's gonna tell them any different?

The ribbed one is the closest.

The ribbed one, available in 1/8" and 1/4". 1/8" would run $70 plus shipping for a 4x5. Not cheap, but would look nice.
