No Mat Fasteners in the floor?

[J400uk]

Another question from me, do MK2 Leons not have fasteners in the floor for carpet mats?

Mine doesn't seem to have any (2008 model year) and it means the floor mats just sit there loose. Bit confused as my Ibiza definitely had them and I remember the Golf MK5 did also.

Similar to as mentioned here http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=107851

Yeah, my OEM matts have holes in but I have nothing in floor to attach them too (57 plate)

I have little fasteners on my floor for my mats... (57 plate FR)

seems to be a plastic thing either side of the floor with a screw in between..

See in theory ours should all be the same as a 57/ 08 plate would be 2008 model year!

Could it be they only fit the fasteners if mats were specified from the factory?

Guess it should be possible to retrofit just not sure which parts I'd need

When you buy the genuine mats they come with small peg/fasteners that you screw into the carpet. The mats then clip onto these. The fasteners have Philips slots in the top to screw them in.

That's what I have in my 57 reg Cupra.

The FL cars came with the fasteners in place I think, and they have different spacing than the Pre FL mats

Cool that makes sense

Now just need to see if I can buy the fasteners that screw into the carpet by themselves, as current mats are ok just don't have anything to clip to

Couple of tips.................if you get them.

Clip them into the mat, position it on the floor, then screw the clips into carpet. They will just spin in the mat and you will get them evenly spaced that way.

When removing your mats to clean them, push a screw driver of key against the top if the fastener as you lift the mat. This stops you ripping them out the carpet.

My mats just came with fasteners that I screwed into the carpet. I've got a few spares if anyone needs them? Think mine are the oblong ones....

Oh that would be brilliant! I'm in Leicester next week if your location is right. I'll drop you a PM
