The instructions from Steele suggest filling in between the ridges with Bondo or some other leveling substance. I never liked the Steele product for this reason, but that's all that is on the market. Metro made them with the grooves, but getting them fitted was almost as much work.

And as for removal of the rubber, I feel for you...some have softened up old rubber with a propane torch, but this may lead towards temptation to light the whole project on fire. NOT a fun task. I much prefer crustified desert rubber that practically falls off...
And what is "worse" is you can buy new sheetmetal (smooth top) boards but the bottoms won't look right. Well, maybe they will soon....
