Snoopy Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 I seem to recall, last time this came up, that the rear mats in the GTI were supposed to be fixed down somehow, but that the job of fitting the clips into the carpet was left up to the dealer, hence it was almost never done.I got a set of clips that screwed into the carpet from VW for a couple of quid, and hey presto - no more wandering rear mats!

dub-love Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Yes, that's right. 99% of VW's profit margin comes from the red 'I'. Dam, I was ripped off. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> I would ask for a red I at the dealer, just let them know your getting picked on! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Yes I think I remember this too.I have 2 spare sets now, 1 push-fit and 1 twist-fit - one left over from a set of mats I bought for the Sport, which already had them in the car (!) and another set that came with the mats that VW had to order because the branch the car came from stole them! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> I would ask for a red I at the dealer, just let them know your getting picked on! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />lol I might just do that!

If they'e so good, I want some! Part numbers????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 both ours have the ultrasonic button. My mats has the twist lock front fixiings but nothing in the back. I know Jens has push lock studs on the front, will have to check the rears for fixings.What's all this about damped grab handles - what's all that about? Are they black? If they'e so good, I want some! Part numbers?????when you let go of the handle is glides back to its park position, whereas some (mine included style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry2:" border="0" alt="angry.gif" /> ) just snap back up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
