Mine is a bit saggy, is there a way of straightening it up?

I visited Southbound Trim. They offered to make an RS style mat for me which just covers the bottom area. This could be a good and cost effective alternative

Thanks, have seen somewhere that you can use a metal coat hanger but having had a look I can't see how it would be done!

Use a fine piece of welding rod, it is much easier to push into the binding edge and push through then bend and cut off. Here are the before and after pictures.

That looks great, I'll have a go at that. thanks!

I know nothing about welding rods, had a quick look on screwfix and eBay. What thickness do I need to buy or are they all of a muchness?
 
Welsing rods normally come as a set with the heavy tinted goggles. Just avoid picking up the rose tinted ones :thumb:
 
By far the best value visual improvement you can make (by virtue of being effectively free!). Cheapo wire coat hanger from the dry cleaners will work perfectly.
 
My solution was to cut a short length (62 cm) of timber which is placed between the pocket and the front of the car when its parked in the garage. Worked for me.
