ever wonder what this hole in the carpet was for?






and apparently there's another hole on the driver-side floor mat as well...






but neither of the holes lined up with each other?





all this time i thought Toyota had finally f**ked up with something... ok ok it's not their first time. but here is what they're for..





oh gosh how i hated my floor mats shifting and cause the corners to curl >.< but i think there should be at least two holes per mat so that it's less likely to pivot and rotate. and it's too bad there aren't any for the passenger side..
also these came included with my new dealer option rubber mats... yay for rubber mats!!





i'm guessing the european cars had four holes (since i got 4 clips) where the usdm/cdm ones had only one...? can anyone confirm that?
i have no use of the other 3 so if anybody wants them, they're for sale in my other OEM parts FS thread.

anyway i just wanted to know if any of you were also stumped with these 'holes' on the floor...

FS: European Dealer's Option Rubber Floor Mats

haha, and the whole time your car was just broke

nice job getting it fixed

My god! That hole totally confused me.
I thought it might be to hold the floor mats, but the holes didn't line up and there was only one hole (most floor mat holders have two holes) so I gave up...

Wow...

Where did you order the floor mats from?

Yeah me 2 lol. Only because mine came with the plastic clip tho...Dunno if this happens to you guys but mine always falls off. My carpet gets pushed up when I get out of the car and eventually the plastic piece will come right out....

i got the floor mats from malpaso..
i've had these floor mats on for almost a week now and i really like them. i like how i no longer have to bother vacuuming the stock floor mats and that i won't have to worry too much about getting the floor mats soaked and stained. it feels good compared to the crappy universal rubber mats which were too thick and didn't fit right.

yup, I've always known too. Mine had them on. but that's funny. nice find and I'm super jealous of those mats. my Driver side one is shredded. Time to upgrade.
