Abstract
A vehicle floor tray is molded from a sheet of polymeric material of substantially uniform thickness. A reservoir is formed in a portion of the central panel of the tray. Hollow upstanding baffles disposed in the reservoir impede movement of collected fluid. In a system embodiment including the floor tray and a vehicle foot well, upstanding first, second and third tray walls exhibit a close conformance to respective vehicle foot well walls, such that a large part of the external surface area of the first, second and third tray walls is within one-eighth of an inch of a respective vehicle foot well wall.
