Rubber Pad for Automatic Brake Pedal
I've been reading through old threads for quite a long time and can't find a definite answer to this question, though it's been asked hundreds of times.
I specifically am looking for a rubber pad that will cover the aluminum brake pedal pad on an automatic. I am not looking for advice on drilling, sanding, grinding, changing the shoes I wear, using spiked aluminum, or in any other way modifying the aluminum surface, I want to COVER it with a rubber pad.
I can't find any answer that gives that information in all the old threads. Does anyone know of a RUBBER pad that will fit over the brake pedal pad on a C5?
Thanks for any information leading to an answer.

I saw a car a few years back that the guy had done the same thing. He bought one that was larger and trimmed it to the proper shape then epoxied it onto the existing peddle. He claimed that it had been on for over 3 years. When I first saw it I was like where the hell did you find that.

thanks, read that through that thread earlier. It’s for a standard. I need a bigger pedal for an automatic. I’ve ordered one from Home Depot of all places. It’s fairly close in dimension. Should be here in a couple of days. I’m going to try that. It’s much wider than the six speed pad. It can’t be much wider than the pedal or your toe or shoe would hook it coming off the gas. Dorman makes several sizes but I was hoping someone had found one that actually fit. I don’t wanna have to keep ordering different ones until I find one that fits. Most vendors don’t keep them in stock because there are so many different shapes and sizes.
Wouldn't the same technique work for an auto? Different pad, certainly, but it seems to me that I've seen several auto pads on the wall at the 'zone and others.

I put this one on it that I purchased at Home Depot for seven bucks. It’s made by Dorman I don’t particularly like the crisscross pattern so I’ve ordered another made by Crown (also $7) with a line pattern to see if I like that any better (Walmart.com). They both stretch over very snuggly like a normal brake pad and have a lip to hold them on. I’m not sure yet if the crown fits but I’ll post back if it does.
