Designed as a direct replacement for the original accelerator pedal covering, this rubber pad provides a secure, comfortable contact surface between the driver's foot and the throttle pedal.

What Does the Accelerator Pedal Rubber Pad Do?
The accelerator pedal rubber pad provides a protective, non-slip contact surface for the driver's foot.
Its primary functions include:
Improving grip between footwear and the accelerator pedal Providing a comfortable surface for throttle operation Helping maintain smooth, controlled accelerator input Protecting the underlying pedal from direct wear Restoring the original appearance of the pedal assemblyA correctly fitted rubber pad helps maintain a consistent and predictable feel when operating the accelerator, particularly during regular driving.
Why Does the Accelerator Pedal Rubber Pad Wear Out?
The accelerator pedal is one of the most frequently used controls in any vehicle. Over time, repeated foot movement and environmental exposure can cause the rubber covering to deteriorate.
Common causes of wear include:
Continuous friction from footwear Rubber hardening through age Cracking or splitting Loss of surface grip Exposure to dirt, moisture and cleaning products Damage caused during previous pedal repairs General deterioration after decades of useAs the rubber becomes worn or smooth, it may provide less grip and detract from the original appearance of the vehicle's interior.
When Should It Be Replaced?
Replacement is recommended when the existing accelerator pedal rubber shows signs of deterioration.
Typical indications include:
Visible cracks or splits Smooth or excessively worn rubber Hardened or brittle material Loose or distorted fitting Missing sections of the pedal covering Reduced grip during accelerator operation An aged or damaged appearance during restorationReplacing a worn pedal rubber is a simple way to refresh the driver's footwell while maintaining the original character of the Porsche 356.
Checks During Replacement
When replacing the accelerator pedal rubber pad, it is also advisable to inspect the surrounding pedal components.
Check the accelerator pedal for damage, excessive movement or deterioration, and ensure the throttle linkage operates smoothly.
Inspect the pedal hinge, return spring, connecting rods and associated bushes for wear. The accelerator should move freely and return correctly when released.
Porsche 356 Accelerator Pedal Rubbers & Pedal Restoration Components
The accelerator pedal rubber pad is an important finishing component within the classic Porsche 356 pedal assembly. Designed to provide a secure contact surface for the driver's foot, it helps maintain comfortable and controlled accelerator operation while protecting the pedal beneath.
Over time, original pedal rubbers can become worn, hardened, cracked or loose through repeated use and natural ageing. Replacing a deteriorated accelerator pedal rubber helps restore grip, driving comfort and the original appearance of the interior.
