SeatJackers not working with rear Ram All-Weather Mat

I installed DesertDoesIt SeatJackers front and rear on my driver seat today to keep me from requiring a child booster seat.
They do a good job raising the seat to a useful height for me. I'll need to take a long drive to see if I actually need to lower it a 1/2" but now I don't have to sit on a cushion to see out.

BUT... I have the Mopar All Weather Rubber mats, which I really like. They have caught spills, dog vomit and all manner of debris from going where it shouldn't. Unfortunately, the Rear Seatjackers raise the entire seat mounts up by over and inch and the floor mat covers that area quite tightly. Now the floor mat is raised above the floorboard. It covers a significant portion of the rear seat mounts and cutting it to let them be above it would defeat it's bowl like purpose.

All I can think of is to raise the floor under the mat with something to prevent the wobbly gap.

Has anyone found a solution for this?
 
Short torso but long legs? Glad you found a solution.

I wonder if you could use a heat gun to heat and remold the floor liners as needed

I guess so. In vehicles with adjustable pedals and seats I've always had to move the pedals to the firewall and raise the seat to stadium height.
When I test drove the Tradesman I knew I was going to have to find a seat height solution, so no complaining from me. I knew I was buying a truck with a seat that didn't fit me.
The Seatjackers work well for me other than the rear mat interference. I could go with the stock carpet mats in the back but "bucket mats" have made clean-up on aisle 2 a breeze enough times to not want to compromise on that.

I've thought about that but I think these mats seem to have more rubber content than thermoplastics so I don't think it would respond to remolding by heat. If someone else has successfully remolded the OEM Mopar mats I'd like to hear about it.
