If anyone needs these, I've got a set in great condition. Low miles, all original.



$20+actual shipping and PayPal fees. Looks like retail is ~$8.50 each from most aftermarket vendors.

Four, actually. Two per side. Compared to new, it's a bargain for anyone who needs/wants them. Or maybe not. What do you care? Hell, what do I care? :clueless:

Quoted for truth.



I just spent ~$25 on a little piece of foam and another ~$40 on a Euro console tray and map pocket-mounted, interior color-matched coin tray and have no regrets. OEM FTW.

i actually just went to the dealership after reading this thread. I got new M floor mats from the dealership last year and they didn't contain these velcro pads. Anyways, went in and asked for a set and the guy just handed them to me for free :thumbsup2: my carpet doesn't have any holes in it but apparently they just screw into the carpet (like a self tapping screw) Very happy because i was sick of my carpets getting scrunched up under my feet

I just got a set of replacement floor mats from the dealer but am struggling to remove the old "screw" in anchors from the carpet. They do not screw out and I have yanked on them to try to rip them out but am concerned that I will tear up the hole in the carpet and then the new velcro screw-ins won't stay snug.



How do you remove the existing stock anchors? Snip them off with wire cutters? That's my next thought to try.

Pull while twisting counter-clockwise... worked for me.
