LUXURY 206CC MATS

I bought the mats (set of four) and tried to fit them at the weekend. The holes for the driver's mat do not line up with the "retainer" bits on the floor of the car. One of them does, but not the other. Seems as if the hole in the mat has been punched in the wrong place.

I've called Peugeot today to see if they can order me another set but, of course, the phone in the Parts Dept just rang and rang and I've now left a message.

Has anyone else had this problem?

It'd be great to get something from Peugeot that was perfect first time around!

i've had my mats a couple of weeks now and no problems.

the holes were where they were supposed to be.

did you put the mat down before trying to fit the connectors?

They should all fit...as Dom says...use the mat as a guide for the retainers, lift mat, push retainers into place, mat back down, clips on and bob's your uncle!

I assumed that the parts on the floor of the car are fixed - is that right? I placed the mat over them thinking they would line up and I would simply then put the retainers on to them. Those bits already on the floor don't come out do they? If that's the case, I need to move one of them an inch or so across. Am going in tomorrow morning so will get it sorted anyway. These things are not easy to explain in writing are they?!?

I looked in my mum's 206 at her mats and it all seemed how I thought it should be. Trust me to get a dodgy set of mats!

The retainers in the carpet floor do lift out all you need to do is bend them in the middle.

Thanks Ed. May be I should have done that then - oops! I just thought they were a permanent fixture and I just had to put on the top bit/on the top side of the mat if you get what I mean!
