VT Hokie Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Hey y'all, I just purchased a 2007 Legacy 2.5i Limited last month! So far so good, but today I broke that little floor mat clip on the driver's side with my foot. Is this common? Seems very fragile, and I'm guessing not worth replacing.

gbhrps Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 The clip keeps the floor mat from sliding around on you and interferring with the foot pedals. Several of the cars I've owned over the years have had them installed, and they do keep the floor mats in place. You'll have to decide whether replacing it is necessary for you. If you find the mat wanders on you, and drives you crazy, then you may want to get a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipper Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I use velcro nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VT Hokie Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 Do you know how easy it is to replace? Maybe I'll ask if they can replace it when I bring the car in for its first servicing, but only if it's easy to do. It's not that big a deal...

ericem Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I use velcro nipper just wondering, how did you use a velcro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zstalker Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 the dealer should warranty that. I know our dealer has. they're known for being kind of weak. if they don't warranty it, maybe ask another dealer, or make a stink about it being a brand new car and parts falling off of it or something. anyways, if they still won't replaced it for free, I can imagine it would be very expensive, and it's really easy to replace. ~Erik~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericem Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Glue and a profesional sewing machine Hmm, i used some CA glue to hold the velcro to the rubber piece on the floor and to the bottom of the carpet seems to be holding very well.
