Silly question about the all season mats
For the front driver side mat, I can't seem to get the hooks that hold the mat in place to go into the little holes. Is there some sort of trick for doing this?

not really a trick, but tilt the rear edge of the mat so that the mat is bowed and that edge is perpindicular with the floor. Then slide the pins into the holes and drop the mat. Also, it helps to have the seat moved back.
not a silly question, but weird.

Thanks guys. I think part of the problem may be that the holes were partically closed over on my mats when I got them. I had to clear the holes with a knife, but have never quite been able to get them to fit. I'm going to try FDL's approach tonight.

Maybe I see it differently, but why take them out if they fit? Then I just have to find some place to store them. I'd prefer to just store them under my all season floor mats.

Well, I found the real trick to getting the hooks through the holes on the all seasons. I just kept trying to fit the hole of the entire hook. What you do, is put the mats over the hooks, and then press hard on the front of the hole, where the hook curves out. The lip slides under the hook, and then you press down on the other side.
Not exactly rocket science, I guess!
