Hi I have 3 styles of mats in my vans. I like 2 of the 3. Favorite is the
OEM VW rubber mat that is molded to fit the whole front end. It is Great.
Number 2 is the one you have from van cafe. Great fit and holds alot of
spilled soda and coffee before needing to be hosed off. My least favorite
is the Moon Mat style. Flat nothing fancy with plain edges and 3/4 inch
round pockets to hold shoe mud. Try to find a OEM if you can and be able
to afford it but the one you have listed from the Van cafe is VERY Nice.
