Carpet Mats

[Lexiguy]

Hi Guys 

I have been fed up with the front mats creeping forwards and finally got around to sorting it.

The problem was no plastic rings in the holes in the carpet for them to clip securely into. At some stage the must have been pulled out.

This job is definitely within the skill set of a beginner.

I ordered hooks and plastic rings on eBay. I took both front seats out by removing the 4 bolts and unplugging the 3 electrical connectors. Then out comes the seats and they are a heavy lumps. I pulled off the door sill protector which has a plug to disconnect for the Lexus illumination on the strip. Unclipped the carpet and the real job could commence!

While out it is an ideal time to do a proper clean of the carpet, which is now spotless and the seats.

Find the two factory holes in the carpet and put one plastic disc under the carpet and the other on top, then clip them together, I used a glue gun to stop any repeat problems. Rebuild in the reverse order and job done!

The Lexus mat on the drivers side looks worn and scruffy so that's now on the future purchases list.

I have just spoken to the DVLA this morning to ask for progress on the return of my licence which should have been 23 May. By my calculations of the process it would appear that it could be the end of August before its returned 😒😒😒

That must feel very frustrating Anthony.  You’ll be getting chauffeured to the club weekend then?

Yes, my wife Claire will be chauffeuring me and Tom (Lexiguy Junior) down on Friday teatime and back Sunday afternoon.

Gutted because we will be in her car, a silver Suzuki Swace.

Beggers can't be choosers 🤣

Hi Guys

When fitting the rings into the carpet I got a special tool which worked brilliantly see pictures!

It wasn't expensive so if anyone is interested I can bring it to the Lexus meet later in the month in Coventry! Anthony 🤣
