just to let you guys know... there are new mats that are out... i purchased my car in november and it's all carpet... my gf just purchased one last week and there is a rubber area where your heal would be on the carpet so i guess it won't get worn out... mine isn't worn out yet but i'll bring it in when it does.... they also seem to have fixed all the rattles and the radio cover door works really easily now... hopefully when i bring back my car they can fix all the stuff

 

Never heard the rattles and is there a problem with the streo cover?

 

If you would have read the OWNERS WARRANTY INFORMATION booklet they gave you with the car, you would've seen this.....
Page 9: What Is Covered and How Long

Basic warranty (36 months/36,000 miles): This warranty covers repairs and adjustments needed to correct defects in MATERIALS or WORKMANSHIP of any part supplied by Scion, subject to the exceptions indicated under "What Is Not Covered" on pages 11 - 12.

Page 11, 12: What Is Not Covered

Mmmmm.....nothing about mats. Both service managers i've talked to have said this is not "normal" wear and tear and it shouldn't be doing that already. And obviously i'm not the only one.

So man, what else you got? Other than free mats that CAN'T be replaced.....

 

how many times have you had to replace your shredders?

Still find it a bit hard to believe that they are warrantied, since they are post purchased, as an extra item.

Owners warranty Info booklet with the vehicle hehehe yep that's right... for the vehicle. Seeing the Mats are not the vehicle or come in the car from the factory, it's just a fine quote from an owner's manual. You are true bookworm and your skills are appreciated.

If you were covered, neato.

I'm not concerned, just curious to see where it says Mats are covered

 

Ok man, you can keep debating this with yourself. I've given you plenty of reasons they will be covered. Whether or not you want to believe me is up to you...I could care less. When they drove my car off the truck at the dealership it had mats in it. As soon as it was off, I was in it. Straight from a boat and onto a truck......how'd the mats get there? And just to inform you **PROFANITY** that book is exactly what the service manager pulled out. Do I need a specific warranty for my ground effects now?

 

they'll know, cause they do have records of your car mat purchase

 

yet you haven't answered my question

 

could i "replace" my two rear floor mats if the car wash misplaced them?

 

Genuine Scion Accessories:
Warranty coverage is for 12 months, regardless of mileage, with the exception of car covers, which are warranted for 12 months only. If the part or accessory is installed during the New Vehicle Limited Warranty period, coverage is for the 12 months or the remainder of the applicable warranty coverage.



straight from the scion.com, showroom->tC->features and specs->warranty. can we all get along now?




p.s. after hearing all the talk on this site about how crummy the mats were, i decided i didn't want them. however my car came with them listed on the sticker, and the dealer said they could not sell the car for below sticker price, therefore they could not remove the mats. i opted to buy the car anyways (obviously) but got it in writing from the dealer that not only were the mats warrantied for 3yrs/36000 miles, but if they had to be replaced (even multiple times), the 3/36k would start over.


sounds like not all dealerships are created equal. surprise, surprise.

 

wow, i cant believe that ppl actually bought the mats from scion. I got mines from this wholesale store for $12 and they are freakin great! they are thick and trap dirt and other crap in their "groves". Its kinda hot tho because the groves are actually cut-lines and they are customizeable for any car and the groves that you dont cut help trap dirt, mud, water and snow. They fit perfictally in the tC. if anyone wants them I think pep-boys sells thems in the other states, but for those who live in Philly you can bey them at any National Wholesale Liquidators in the auto section, they should be about $12.

 

there are better mats I agree!

 

mine came well made. they don't appear to be the ones i have seen in many photos. anyway....

 

you have the heel pad?

 

Anybody have a source for an add-on heel pad? I don't really want a metal one, and can't find a rubber or other material one that will attach to my mat.

 

my dealer gives me new mats whenever i take my car in for service.

 

yes, it has a thick heel pad.

 

wow thats a nice deal hehe

 

Can you take a picture please? I wonder if they're Scion mats or some kind of aftermarket mats.

 

If i knew they were going to be this crappy I wouldn't have bought them....

 

I was having the same problem. Mine started wearing away after about 1000 miles. I went to the dealer a few weeks ago to get them replaced and the new ones had the rubber heel area, just like the release series. I'll try and go out to take some pics today.
