Greetings-
I wanted to share a little improvement I made today to my Mazda all weather floor mats. I really don't like Mazda's floor mat lock design because it took way more force that I thought necessary to remove the mats. My wife has a late model Subaru and her mats have a large hole that loops around two corner posts so that gave me an idea since the Mazda design is kind of the same.
Here's what I did:
Take the mats out of the car and grab your electric drill with a inch bit. Using the drill, ream out the plastic hole in the floor mat just a little bit. With a slightly large hole the floor mat will now go on and off the carpet post much easier! After doing this I'm able to just lift the mats out without have to use a screwdriver or two hands.
