How-To: (2006-2010) Add a bracket to the passenger all-weather rubber floor mat
Materials needed
- Additional "bracket" from dealer. Part is 0000-8B-L40. I ordered this along with a cabin air filter from Rosenthal with shipping for about the same price as picking it up from the dealer
- 1/2" drill bit
- Rubber grommet (3/8" ID. The one I used had a 5/8" OD. Link here: http://www.menards.com/main/electri...mmet-3-8-inside-diameter/p-1460408-c-6450.htm)
So this was ridiculously easy once I finally did it
1. Drill hole in mat using 1/2" bit (see pic for location). The hole wasn't 1/2" when I was done with it but it worked perfectly
2. Insert grommet into mat. Just work one edge in and then work it around until it snaps into place
3. Remove the retainer clip from underneath the passenger chair
4. Put the bracket in place, re-attach the clip, screw it in, and secure the mat
Simple and no more fixing the mat when the lady gets out
