The rubber queen ones appear to be made for another car. Most mats for cars are wide at the bottm and thinner towards the top. Where the vanagon is the opposite. So it appears Rubber queen went thru their stock, turning each one upside down and seeing if it would fit in the vanagon upside down. The passenger side fit is quite good. The drivers has no notch for the gas pedal so it doesn't work. The real killer is the rear floor mats are made for a sedan that has the two wells in the rear. So you get these mats that are made for a sedan rear floor well and it has long rubber runners that are suppose to tuck under the sedan's front seats. It is amusing how business decisions are made. Sure these will work in a Vanagon................ If I wasn't so hard up for floor mats I would have sent them back. We're having snow storm after snow storm in the midwest.
