Carpet/matting on top of chequer plate?

Any recommendation for carpet/rubber mat to put on top of a storage drawer like the MSS drawer or similar?

Also what do you use as tie down points now the existing points are covered by the drawer?

Thanks in advance

I was going to use plain automotive carpet, stuck down with a very thin layer of a mastic. That way it fit gets ripped/damaged it is easily removed.
I've yet to pluck up courage to drill more holes in the back to bolt it down. Plus I can't make my mind up if I want it up against the cargo barrier or up against the door. 110 D250 SE HT

Loose laid carpet on top of the anti slip/grip mat which woodworkers etc use.

We have original carpet laid on top. A bit of weight in top and it does not move around much.

Tie down points? Consider either cargo tracks in long lengths (£14/m with rings at £7/pair) or in short lengths just big enough for a load ring (£14/2). Alternative is medium weight lash down rings use a large washer behind (£9/6)

Rubber matting is cheap, easy to clean and will help keep the noise down.
