The winter here is killing my carpet floor mats. Husky and Weather tech don't make custom fit mats for a 2005. Is there any other manufacturer that makes a custom fit mat set? I don't see anything on eBay or Amazon either. I don't want cut-to-fit.

 

There's always the OEM all-season rubber mats. They're usually a high demand item though so I don't know what the availability will be like.

 

I bought these from eBay last November and they've been great so far.

I also see a pair made by ToughPro when I search eBay too. More expensive but the fit/finish might be better.

Edit: made hyperlink

 

I saw the Toughpro on ebay, but just not sure about them. So I ordered OEM mats from suburbanautoparts.com for about $90 shipped.

 

Did you buy the rubber OEM mats?

 

I did, then got an email this morning saying the order was cancelled because they're unavailable.....

 

Try www.californiacarcover.com they have a variety of matts and should have what you're looking for, if not there's always Pep Boys! Very surprised Weather Tech didn't have 'em!

Not uncommon anymore for a lot of parts shops. Accessories have long been out of production; best you can hope for is to stumble across NOS (new old stock). I've seen a lot of sites that just don't match the ecommerce website parts list with inventory on hand.

The void is creeping ever more rapidly into critical parts, too. First gen cars are old, and there weren't "billions and billions" sold like GMs and Fords, where many parts were interchangeable across multiple brands and models.

 

What critical parts have you been unable to find?

 

Infiniti Part No.: 285E5-C9900
ANTENNA-SMART KEYLESS,ROOM

For the intelligent key system.

 

Probably the inventory was depleted due to it being a semi-common failure item. Fortunately since the function is the same people will be able to splice the harness to the newer style antennas. I think the FX35 uses the same harness for the antennas but the mounting brackets were different so you might look into one of those at the Nissan dealership, the antenna can be removed from the bracket iirc it was just held in with plastic clips except for one of the roof ones??? that had a little pigtail harness and it was attached directly to the chassis.

 

Not surprised. The OEM rubber mats have been a unicorn for a long time new or used, occasionally they pop up on ebay where they are quickly snatched up.

 

Yep, they will occasionally pop up on eBay, the OP just needs to keep at it. It took me over a month of almost daily searching before an OEM carpeted mat set for my coupe reared its head. I know I saw a rubber mat set too.
