Warped Floor Mat - How to straighten?
Guys,
I bought a set of floor mats for my hatch a couple of years ago (from a junkyard).
The driver's side mat had been sitting in the sun/rain etc in a strange position, and it basically molded into a strange shape. I washed all the mats, but it wasn't enough to fix the warp.
I've had the mats in the car for a while and I constantly have to reposition the driver's side mat, without mentioning that it has a hump type of shape.
What do you think could be a good way to straighten it?
I'm thinking of dipping it in hot water, then laying it on the floor with a piece of wood on top of it and a few 45lbs weight plates on top of it.
Let me know your thoughts, thanks!

Thanks man, I'll look into that. I am also thinking of putting a piece of MDF on top of it while it's still wet with a few 45lbs plates on top and leave it outside for a few days. We shall see.
