Default Front Mat with Heelpad

After a bad winter and no rubber mat, I now have a mat with a definite indentation where my heel rests when driving. I've tried cleaners, steaming, etc. to raise the nap, but it seems that it's permanently depressed. Does anyone know who sells a Lexus-quality replacement mat that comes with an integrated heel pad? Thanks.

Just go with a rubber mat from Lexus. Yes, they might be expensive but it is a good mat to keep the dirt out.

Here is an option:

Of course you would get the one without the logo.

I have a Mustang which is why I know of this site..

I bought a set of custom fitted vinyl mats that go over the factory mats. I love them because you can still see the factory mats and dont need to worry about the heel prints. A little expensive, but I love them and thats all that matters to me.

Thanks to everyone for their advice. I did buy the rubber Lexus mats, but I was looking for a non-winter solution. I think that the heelpad that can be added to the existing mat might be the way to go. I haven't seen too many custom mats with an integrated heel pad that I like as the materials don't necessarily seem to be as high quality as the original mats.

My all weather mat is year round. My carpet mat is freeking brand new! Never been used. Might need to sell it. It is collecting dust.

Then go to a auto upholstery shop they can add a heal pad of your choice
to your existing floor carpet or if you want to get a new one. I had my trunk carpet custom cut and redo a carpet side seam to custom fit my fiberglass subwoofer box on my other car, cost only $30. I'm sure there are some auto upholstery shop in your area.

If not here is a link for heal pad that you can either adhere onto the carpet

Here is another one and available adhesive for the securing the pad onto your carpet

you get the idea right ?
