jaafallon Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 My 89 SE Pathfinder had two pieces of flexible material that went between the wheel well and the engine compartment (one piece on each side of the vehicle). The material feels like a cross between paperboard and rubber. It's somewhat flexible and yet strong enough to withstand the stresses of riding in the wheel wells. I want to replace it, but the dealer wants $52.00 each for them and that seems a little high to me (like about $40.00 each too high). Has anybody found a substitute for these factory skirts (or whatever they're called)? I was thinking about cutting them out of some inner tubes but I don't think that would last very long (inner tubes seem to be junk anymore). Anyway, I'd appreciate any suggestions you may have. Thanks, jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Pickles Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Maybe cut some cheap rubber floor mats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Floormats or mud flaps. I used mud flaps meant for a semi truck, cut into 4-6" wide strips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denisb Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 If you live in an area with snow, you can cut up a kids crazy carpet. That's what I used for mine. plastic very flexible yet strong and for 4-5 bucks you get a 2' x 4' piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaafallon Posted August 12, 2004 Author Share Posted August 12, 2004 The Kid's "Crazy Carpet" sounds like a good possibility. I'll stop by Wally World tonight and see if they have it, or something like it. If I can't find anything, I might be interested in the ones from the "88. Thanks all. Good info here. jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaafallon Posted August 13, 2004 Author Share Posted August 13, 2004 Does anyone know who actually manufactures "crazy carpet"? I've tried to find a name through "Google" but nothing is showing up. Any help would be appreciated. jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snosnk Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 a buddy of mine used the parts of a belt off of a potato piler. He cut them to fit . Looks pretty good. I think the belt of of any type of piler would work. Watch your local junkyards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
