    Rear seat mats

    Rear seat comes all in one piece

    They only issue i had fitting was there was not enough Velcro strips provided so you can see the back mats at the top of the seats sticking out a little easy fix a quick trip to bunnings and problem solved

    I found i needed Velcro strips for both front mats at the top left side to stick them down properly also the rear mats at the top of the seats
    Fitting took about 15 min total

    Sat in the car for a drive (wife's car) and only had socks on it felt nice and soft underfoot very pleasant

    They come in a lot of different colours and stitching's wife went for black with blue stitching to match her car i have gone for black with red for mine (mine still in post will post photo's when installed)

    All in all very impressed wife is happy with her birthday present more brownie points for me

    Look very practical solution to keeping sand and dirt out of the car carpet. What are they made from?

      Leather seems quite durable a quick wipe over after a vacuum will do the trick i would imagine

        Not sure about that video but the mats look very good.

        I googled the Manicci site and had a look there. Some good options. Is the driver footwell plate actually alloy? Does that work ok, as opposed to a rubber insert there?

          Ha yeah scotty is a acquired taste just a bit eccentric

          The footrest is high quality rubber not alloy

          But yeah it's the only full coverage mats i have been able to find and i have looked a lot for the price its not a bad deal

            Look cool. I'd be keen for black with red stitching. Looks like the factory mats just sit in on top?

            I'm looking for mats that go up the side on the drive and passenger. For some reason when I get in and out I push on the carpet near the shifter.

            LOL @ Scotty. I used to subscribe, but I found his vids ended up being more about complaining than actual how tos.

              I have black with red coming this week for my alltrack so i will post some more photo's for you when i have them in

              Better than the factory mats as they are cut and molded to suit the model of car ordered
              They would be perfect for you they are the only mats i have come across that cover the entire carpeted area including the sides and even half way under the seat and right up under the pedals on drivers side and all the way to the firewall on the passengers side
              They have Velcro strips and plastic lugs which go under the plastic side trim to keep it in place

              I did add more Velcro which i got from bunnings to make it extra secure

                This is some of the fastening along the sides Velcro and some clips which slip up under the plastic interior where it meets the carpet

                Very nice addition indeed methinks

                Only real issue is i have the electric seat on drivers side and the box for the electrics sticks out so the underseat part does not fit flush
                I have Velcro'd it in place and am using a heavy bit of steel to get it to mold onto place should not be to long and it will fit like a glove

                Also got the rear cargo mat as well it's a bit creased from being folded for postage so have some heavy items on it to smooth it out but otherwise looks nice

                  Not bad Kachingg. I notice in the first post I can see clips for what appear to be floor mats that sit on top of the "leather" mats.

                  In your recent post they are not there. Is that an option? I did see in Scottys vid he had mats that go on top, but I can't see that option on the website.

                    Yes they are a option its the more expensive option on the website the bare look like mine are $200 US and the ones with carpet are $320 US

                    My wife wanted the carpet i will grab some photos for you this weekend and let you see how it looks with the carpet i did not go for it as with my work and golfing 3 times a week so much muck and grass/sand ect gets dragged into the car that carpet is a waste of time just to much cleaning
                    I actually have refitted the plastic cover i made for around the pedals as with my work that gets really filthy but having all the carpet now covered makes it so much easier to vacuum up all the grass/sand ect ect then a quick wipe over and its done
                    After 12 months of constant battle to keep the carpets looking nice i gave up (sick of trying to get very small bits of grass and sand out of it what a pain)
