    got these a few months back also, should work well for keeping the soon to come snow/slush/salt cocktail off the carpet. Drivers side is perfect, but I did notice the passenger side tends to slide up just a tad...

    I bought right from weathertech`direct in Ontario. They are now including screw in mounts for the passenger side mat. It screws into the carpet then snaps into the mat. It seems secure.

    As the mats themselves,

    1) the flat area where the left foot rests is not tall enough. I needed to find some plastic, bend it to fit and mount it over the mat so any slop drains down into the mat.

    2) the left side drivers seat rail is too exposed. I'm getting awful salt buildup on the rail. Just another 1" of molding would have solved it.

    For the full retail price of $300, they are really lacking.

    Was that price for the set of front seat mats, rear seat mat & cargo area mat?

    Very common complaint. I recall this guy improvising a little to extend his coverage.

    For the full retail price of $300...
    Hmmm...I just priced these on their US and Canadian websites. A front/rear set is $179 in the US...but the same thing is $269 in Canada?!?

    Yep. Prices here can be bizarre. Especially when the item is made in Canada. (or invented in Canada).

    I actually used a plastic cutting board from the dollar store to extend my false pedal protection. Lol.

    I do remember what it was like with generic Michelin mats in my '14. Salt was everywhere. It got under the mats and was all over my carpets. Not saturated mind you, but enough for me to be upset at the situation on a 3 month old car.

    Because the clutch friction point is (i believe) high off the ground, I don't think the mat will hurt... That's just my opinion though.

    That's my opinion too, but after a while it kept bugging me so I trimmed it.
    I adjust my clutch free play to the hi side of the spec, so it just makes me feel better to have that last 1/8" of travel.

    Anybody else have zero clutch pedal free play as delivered ?
    1 of the 2 others on the floor was also very tight.
    It's disheartening that something so fundamental is overlooked by the dealer...
    Next thing, the press will be bashing the Mirage for release bearing failures...
