Hi,
I'm after rubber mats to replace the nylon ones there at the moment (easier to keep clean in the depths of Cornwall with a 14 year old) but am not 100% sure of all the things I need to look for.
First is price as my local dealer wants £80+ for the set of 4, though I know I can them cheaper on the ol' interweb from Honda cheaper than that. But what about the non-OEM companies such as 'Official Car Mats' and 'Carmats UK', etc? What is the quality like from them? As good as Honda's? I mean, at the end of the day they're just rubber mats, I just want ones specific to the car rather than have to cut bits off Halford specials to make them fit.
Secondly, floor fittings. I see reference to 4 and 2 fixings in the car. I have the OEM nylon mats with 2 fixings per side in the front. So I presume that is the '4 fixings' referred to? Now my other car (actually mine, the Jazz is the wife's …) is a Passat and they changed the floor fixings from round to oval over it's life so you need to be careful with carpets. The Jazz fixings are round holes in the carpet but the 'stud' seems to be round but with 2 edges squared off for the fixing clip. Am I over-thinking this and does the Jazz just have the one type of fixing point (as OEM anyway) which is sometimes described as 'oval'?
Thanks in advance.
