Acura rubber mats for front - I like to keep things clean, but I have to wrestle with the mats to get them off the clips for cleaning and salt goes everywhere.

Is there a trick to getting the mats off the clips I don't know about?

That's why I don't use those hooks!

 

yea - dont clip them!

seriously, i cliped them twice then never again, there is no need to they dont move at all

 

Took me forever just to get them on the hooks. Don't even bother with them now.

 

05 has no hook in driver side, right?

 

05 does have hooks on the Drivers side Front and Passanger side Rear. There are no hooks on Passanger side Front and Drivers side Rear

 

Leave the regular floor mats in and pu tthe rubber ones on top but still clip them. Still holds well but should be easier to remove. See if that works.

 

Why the change?

 

I wrestle with them too. But I'm not giving up....I figure the holes will stretch a bit with time, making it easier to hook/unhook.

 

So it wasn't just me! Now I am sorry I clipped them back in.

thanks for the feed-back!!

i just leave it unhooked

 

I have no clue!

 

actually here is what i have done so far by since i did not leave them unclipped.

pull your driver seat all the way back, then just lift the mat over the clip to make like an 80 degree angle. you have to move the front of the mat back first to make make it easier to rise it. Do it carefully enough w/o spilling an dirt inside, and Voila .. the mats come out with no problem.

 

My problem isn't getting the mat out, but rather getting it on the clip. The 1st time that I did it, I felt like an idiot, like I was too stupid to figure out a floor mat.

 

I feel you on this, I know how you feel. I basically just deal with it and try to be careful

 

I leave them unhooked, they are just too difficult to get out with them hooked. They don't move very much unhooked either.

 

That's what I do ... it makes it easier to take them out and clean. The mats themselves hold well enough.

I just snipped off part of the hook with a pair of wire cutters. Just the part that forms the hook. Not the vertical part, the part that turns back toward the rear. Piece of cake.

 

I thought the winter floor mat wrestle was going to be in the next winter olympics.. There are going to be a few teams from various countries.. my advice is to bride the west german judge.. they can be tough when scoring on the technique... lol

 

vote for NYC 2012 Olympics ... New york city, the candidate city

 

Champcar1 thats a great idea!

so easy after you cool down.

thanks

Paul

 

lol NICE!

 

I spent 15 minutes putting them on. I felt so bad I don't think I will be taking them off, ever.
