I had the carpet kit in my 2004 SSR and I liked it a lot. Then I get my 2005 SSR without the carpet kit and I found that I really liked the look of the entire bed uncarpeted. The only thing I would want would be a bed mat just to line the bottom and to be easily taken in and out if need be.
I cannot find any after market bed mats for sale for the SSR although Gmpartsdirect.com seems to have some kind of mat (they call it large mat, or small mat, no pictures so I am not buying). So I raise the question: What are you using as a bed mat to those that do not have a carpet kit? If you are, what are you using? And, would you post pics?Also, if anyone knows about any bed mats availble lead me in the right direction.
I have the carpet and strips and I use a Yoga mat over the top to keep it from scratching plus the Yoga mat comes in lots of different colors and designs and it keeps everything from sliding around.!!!
GMgoodwrench has a bed mat for sale as well but alas...no pics, no money from me. I dod not understand why GM has a bunch of accessories availble for the SSR with absolutely no Pics anywhere! The dealers I have gone to do not even have them! Part numbers do not mean a thing to me, show me the goods! I have money to burn GM get those pics up!

thanks for that Jeff! I need to get carpet first, but those will work great as an extra cover. All I really want is some decent looking carpeting to lay flat on the bed. There has got to be some out there! :ssr
Try some of the local car upholstery and carpet shops. I think you will find someone who can make exactly what you want for less than you might expect.
kwhopper89: I do NOT think you could use the side saddles with my solution. I believe the side saddles requires access to the outside floor rails to fasten in, and my carpet covers those.
This was not a factor for me as I don't like the way the side saddles make the bed area far less versatile than what I want.
The SOFT side saddles, like Buffy has, MIGHT work with this arrangement.
Mark was on the phone - probably talking to you. :lol Gal I talked to said she checked with Mark (I quoted Jim G's order number and date) and it was $49. Did you get the $38 price??
Thats the thing about gmpartsdirect.com and gms accessory site for that matter, why do they insist on not showing what thier product looks like!?! :nono
I am not going to buy anything that I can not see before hand! gmpartsdirect.com could be $815.00 richer if they would just show me what the Richochet Silver running boards they have listed look like and assure/confirm that they are steps and not tubes like some have said! What gives? :confused
Anyway...rant over...I purchased my bed mat today for I think with shipping something like $59.00. Not too bad for a custom piece.
For those that want to go wild on Cargo Area carpet, check the attached pictures.
I finally had some time to get it put in today. I have them match my floor mats.
