Title: Interior Mat Clips
Post by: jaylufc17 on December 06, 2016, 08:55:27 pm
Ive bought some GTI mats however they are the same fittings as my current rubber mats (in terms of the whole where the mat clips onto the thing on the floor)

is there anyway i can remove this from the floor and which part do i need so that these mats fit properly and not move around

there genuine GTI MK5 Mats bought from dealer (my mate bought them for £65) and his car got written off so i got them off him

I think the fittings are removable from the mat, you can then replace with the circle ones...
Pretty sure I saw them on eBay while back...

I had to do this not so long ago.

The plastic clips split into two - they just clamp together with the mat sandwiched in between. you might need something flat (like a butter knife) to help prise the clips apart. I think i had more trouble pressing the new clips together as they need a fair bit of force!

Hope this helps.
