Default Floormats have warranty...

I talked to a scion rep today and they said the floormats are covered under the basic scion warranty (3yrs/36,000mi). They told me just to take the drivers side back and they will replace it.

I wonder if they'll cover them if they've had holes punched for the floorplates? Hell, the reason I got the floorplates was cuz of the crappiness of the mats. (OK, they glow really awesome under the LEDs too. )

yeah im gonna go try to get me a new one. And i will tell them that Scion corp told me this. I figured it was under warranty because I read somewhere that the Genuine Scion Accesories are covered under the scions basic warranty. So there will be a shortage of drivers side foormats

Are they just replacing the drivers side or giving you a whole new set?

Yeah the sad thing is the $120 floor mats are crap but the regular carpet it total ____.

It does however look like replacing the stock carpet would be fairly simple, I have looked around and no one is making them yet but hopefully someone will come out with a nice thick heavy duty one sooner or later.

I had the same thin indoor/outdoor carpet in an Amigo

Did they let you keep the messed up ones? It'd be nice to have fresh mats for shows and use the crappy ones for daily drive.

Hey no you cant keep the original mats. Once they recieve the new ones, you have to swap out the old set. They will replace the whole set, no matter which one is worn.

Nice to know.

When I read about how $hitty the oem floor mats were I went to Wal-Mart and picked up those heavy duty black rubber mats. I should of not even bought the oem mats, but oh well.

They're actually cheap enough to buy :?

I paid $15 for the front pair at Wal-Mart. They are the heavy duty red-neck truck floor mats. The black goes nice with the interior as well
