Installed Drawers and Now it is a Slip and Slide Back There (1 Viewer)

Everything I put on top of the drawers slides all over during acceleration, turns and braking. I assume it is the cheap/poly indoor/outdoor type carpet they used to cover them. Does anyone sell a rubber mat that will fit wall to wall on ARB type drawers?

Get the foam mesh like stuff that is used to line mechanics tool chests. Or you could go full on @Markuson and velcro out.

I don’t have that problem...

Drawer Tie-Downs on Steroids

Overkill? Probably. But solid as a rock, and super versatile for any number of individual items like fridge, boxes, microwave (yes, I'm running one after a win with a high power inverter), or temporary things like wheelchairs ( I know all about how rattle and slide-prone wheelchairs are!). You...

People tease about my crazy tie-down tracks, but truthfully, it is awesome havingnearly infinite tie-down point/spacing selection. It means any size or shape item is easy to tie appropriately without having to rely on awkward strap angles.

Know, too, that velcro hook material sticks to ARB carpet. SoConsider cargo organizers that have velcro hook panels on the bottom. Very effective for movement/slide control.

Man, based on the title, this thread had so much potential.

Agreed - I came for the pics!

Ha. Clickbait was unintended. Maybe a dirty mind I suppose.

I am talking about everyday stuff like groceries, guns in cases when we go to the farm to shoot, a whisk broom. I want like a half inch piece of rubber. Is there a vendor out there?

OTOH re Slip-n-Slide drawers...
I say... WHY NOT?

If you are looking for something that is 1/2" or so rubber, try going down to your local farm type store (names vary based upon location. ie. Farm and Fleet, Fleet and Farm, D&B Supply, etc) and pick up some rubberized mats made for horse trailers. Those are very tough, rubber, and can be cut to fit. I have one on the back patio under my grill to keep grease from marking up the concrete.

Great idea! I had one in my truck bed for a long time and it worked great, although I think mine was a bit thicker (made to pad stall floors). I think the one I had had a bit of a strong odor.

Another idea might be a remnant from a garage floor covering - maybe a local flooring supplier or eBay? You only need around 40", so I bet a 4'x5' scrap would get the job done.

One last thought is whether yoga mats might get the job done. They're nicely padded rolls of thin foam.

Sea Deck works great.

Ordered some think, black yoga pads. I will let you know how they do.
