I picked-up my 07 RX8 a month ago...does anyone know if the driver side floor mat should have a metal/plastic hook which gets inserted into the existing hole on the floor mat? I noticed there is a plastic hole plug, but no hook installed onto the chassis underneath the driver seat. FYI, I currently have the Mazda dealer investigating into this.

 

Yes, a small post is under the drivers seat to hold the mat in place. At least there is on mine.

 

I was told it was a dealer install supposed to be done during vehicle delivery.

Well it's no surprise the dealer I bought the car from forgot to do it. At least they remembered to not send me home with a bent key!

 

Yes it should be installed by the dealer before they give the car to you.

Check your glove box...that's where mine was!

 

Yea I was wondering where mine was...what does the thing look like. I hate when the mat slides up

 

It looks exactly like the one pictured here:

Sorry...only image I could find.

 

lol seems to be a pretty common thing. I also got my car without it installed. I think I still have it sitting in the glove box.

 

Cool thanks! I'll go look for it when I get off work today

 

mine was not installed as well... now I need to find that part... and then decide if I wanna install it or not.
