Say it isn't so....

jeremy556 · 10-08-2009, 05:39 PM

That is awesome!

If you are stupid enough to need this recall, you deserve this "fix"

HotRod53 · 10-08-2009, 06:09 PM

You gotta be frikin kidding me! If they want to make it so that you can't move the floormat, why not just zip screw it to the floor, it would be just as ugly!

I'll refuse that fix....

It's just a temporary fix. Since they're gonna bore two holes in it for the cable tie you know we're getting a new redesigned floor mat.

Hell NO!! They need to come up with a proper solution before I let them touch my Taco! I wont have any of this half ass shit! Hell they could have come up with a better idea! and whats to say that this wont cause some other issues!!!

+1. It is a temporary fix. Everyone just relax. Toyota is not use to handling recalls, that's why I bought one.

I know I cant see with the two clips and the fact that the mat is no even close to the gas pedal... and I know it temporary fix!!! its just a really bad one!

I will admit, it looks like ass. Like people have said at least use a black tie wrap. But shit, this problem that is not even a problem will cost them millions to fix. And in this economy money is tight everywhere, especially the car business. While a permanent fix is in the works and to make sure no one else sues our ass what is the cheapest most effective way to temporarily fix the problem? A tie wrap that probably cost them 1/2 of a cent and 5 minutes of a techs time. I would say that it is the cheapest most effective way to TEMPORARILY solve this "problem."

Agreed

^^^ x3.

Just curious, my truck has floor mat hooks on both the drivers and passenger side. is this only on certain models or years?

asgard 1976 · 10-08-2009, 09:51 PM

I'm thinking yes because my truck is an '06 and I only have the mat hooks on the driver side.

Vash · 10-08-2009, 10:22 PM

ahhahahahahah. on my porsche 911, i use big o binder clips to keep my floor mat in place for track days. i am a freakin genius! i wonder if toyota is hiring geniuses?
