So, any  thoughts on how to stretch it back? Also, I was hoping to do this
in situ, but  if necessary, I'd pull it up (the glue is kinda loose anyway,
and rubber is  bubbling in a few spots) - do I need to pull the cabinet/rear
seat, since it  extends beneath these?

take it out and install some nice pergo flooring
