Yes, factory mats have the anchors.

 

Well that sucks as I didn't get any .. one for the list

 

Really? I thought it came with factory carpet mats already anchored in? Aren't factory carpet mats standard (anchor or not, depends on the car) or have I just been too use to them being there. I've never noticed the factory carpet mats as a accessory option at any point for any of my cars.

 

Something must be wrong since the they anchors are mounted into the carpet.

Mine have an eyelet where you hook the anchor, which is built into the carpet of the car. Even the WeatherTech ones have the eyelet for you to hook them. Pics would be helpful here. This in the one my car has:

Maybe down under they are different.

 

yep mine have the eyelets but no anchors .. carpet design is diff to the one shown in pic ... Only a minor thing but it is annoying with the carpet creeping .. maybe some double sided tape will do the job

 

In the USA carpeted floormats are optional in the V. I had the OEM floor mats but recently swapped them for the Weathertechs front and rear.

 

My anchors were provided in a plastic bag that is currently in the glove box. They have to be forcibly screwed into place (screw that!)

 

Wow seriously. So use to seeing them in ever car we've gotten. No wonder all our crap costs more...

 

When i purchased my vturbo the mats were recalled because they were slipping under the pedals i have since been shipped a new set that have built in grips all over the back like spikes on a running shoe plus anchores to secure them to the floor.

 

They also have a cool looking metal plate down each side with veloster stamped into them

thanks ynggun ... I'll have to enquire with my dealer as the ones I have slip too easliy for my liking ... i have to adjust them after every run

 

Yeah mine are the same as ynggun said, I've not anchored them down, but I will over the weekend. They ahve not moved a mm yet.

 

You would need to be careful with floor mats on a Veloster because of the floor-pivoted throttle pedal. Movement of the mat might interfere with the pedal. Pehaps Hyundai put a floor-pivoted pedal so we would have to buy their mats, rather than generic mats which wouldn't fit.

 

So what is the verdict? I have floor mats too (with the spikes) with no anchors, mats slide a little, Is it worth getting them installed/screwed in or not?

 

I take mine out in the winter because of the salt & other crap I don't want on my new V mats. Just have some Walmart ones in there now. Small spikes, no anchors. Don't slide at all.

I had not looked at them closely (too busy driving)
But I realised they need to be screwed into the floor! How the hell do you do that? Should the dealership do that?

 

I asked very politely if they could do it at my 15K service and they did

 

I might just get some Velcro .. that should do the job

 

Mine has the spikes which holds well for now, I may tell them to insert the anchors when I take it for a service.

 

So they're actually screwed in, not mounted to pegs? I'd like to get mine fitted properly, they were in the car so the dealer threw them in - they have the spikes but they keep sliding forward which is a tad frustrating. 1500 first service is a fortnight away, will have to see if they'll do it then for me.

dude it is the anchor that is screwed in not the carpet .. but yea I agree the slip is a bit annoying .. I reckon some Velcro should do the job but if you paid for carpets that have eyelets you'd think anchors came with the package, huh

 

Mine came with dealer installed carpeting they look awesome. Will take pictures when my son the actor returns BABY tomorrow......

 

Just checked my 2 week old Turbo and factory optioned mats have spikes underneath and the achores are in the glove box with instructions on how to fit them? I would have thought the dealer would have installed the anchors when they supplied the optional mats? However, instructions say poke a hole in the carpet and screw the anchor into the hole! Not happy about punching a hole into the new carpet and will it tear a bigger hole over time? Drivers mat has 2 eyelets and passenger mat has one central eyelet. I don't think I will install the anchors due to the required hole in my new carpet. But even with the spikes the mats still wander around.

I have exactly the same arrangement as you Ozcarnut. My dealer fitted the eyelets through the carpet with a spike type tool. Had mine in for around 3 months and the holes have not grown at all. Best of all the anchors work fine. I am a fussy owner who hates the thought of a burred head on a screw, however having these three small holes in the carpet doesnt bother me, particularly in the context that they are meant to be there....my 2 cents

 

Thanks Pierre, that gives me the confidence to have another look at the anchors and go ahead with poking holes in the carpet. If the holes don't expand then it's a better option than constantly pushing the mat back in place.

 

Update ... at my first service I listed that anchors were not installed .. they fitted plastic hooks .. No more slipping carpet

 

That's what I'm going to do SRobz.
