I went the marine carpet route years ago, and couldn’t be happier with the result.
Washable, durable, economical, and very presentable…….

Mine is just sitting on the deck. It’s cut to shape, so is wider at the seat, than at the door, but I do have a rear seat to hold it in place.

I did the same with marine dark grey carpet (shows the least amount of sins - unless you are Monica Lewinsky) and easy to remove or fold back to get to the engine lid.

A question for those who have done the carpet..
I see some stuff advertised as stretchable. This could be good to make things nice and neat.
However on my trip to Bunnings their marine carpet on a roll doesn't look stretchy.
Which type did u use?

Mine isnt very stretchy either. Rolls easily so its very flexible which helps get it out of the way to allow access to the engine hatch.
