: Carpeted Floor Mats...A way to secure the front ?????

I purchased my Element with the carpeted floor mats and noticed that the front mats have holes in them. I'm assuming they are for some kind of peg that may stick up from the floor to better secure the mats, but I can see no such pegs on the floor. :cry: Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks

under the seats and by the centre console you have to cut off three 'little nibs' and replace with the hooks...

please consult the H and A site ( or anyother you like ) for the DIY guides ( great reference ! )



good luck !

managed to find the direct link to the pdf file, however it requires you have Acrobat Reader installed to view...

There are some photos of the hooks the carpet attaches to here:

Can't believe your dealer would have just thrown them in without installing the hardware.

My dealer threw my mats in without the brackets too(!) After reading this thread I wnet right back and got them and installed them myself which was a breeze. Thanks to you all for the tips! :lol:
