Anyone done that?

The first thing I did when I got my FEH was order Husky rubber floor mats, including the one for the cargo area. I disliked the flimsy carpet over the battery pack and it kept sliding it out of place when loading and unloading the vehicle. I *LEFT* the flimsy carpet mat in place and put my Husky cargo liner on top of it -- the Husky has little pointed nubs on the underside so the carpet mat serves to further help anchor it (it's molded to fit the shape of the cargo area floor -- it doesn't shift, so the carpet isn't absolutely required, I s'pose.)
Make sure you get the right mat if you go that route... AutoAnything.com has them for a good price and specifically specifies wich mats fit the Ford Escape Hybrid. I bought my cargo, rear seat (one long piece that fits all the floor space in the back seat), and front driver and passenger side Husky mats from them.
