I do disapprove of your heading "Buyer beware". You are saying buyer beware of Jim Carter. I disapprove of that. Furthermore, I explained why it may not be the vendors fault. You have not given them a chance to respond because of "deleting them from your vendor list".
We have all had some parts problems from every vendor. There are many stories about quality, fit, etc.
The proof is how they handle it. You are "warning" us about an issue that you refuse to try and solve. NOT Kosher, NOT "facts". I know for a "fact" that he is honest.
FYI: JC has floor matt material made in the U.S.A.
Cut to fit. Probably actual natural rubber. There are two types of rubber, natural and synthetic.
Then there are products made from recycled water bottles, old tennis shoes and tires.
