Passenger Floor Mat Froze To Carpet!
 
Came out to my car this past weekend and my mat was pushed up real far from passenegers I had in there the following night. So I was warming my car up and went to pull the mat and that thing was froze to the carpet. A good bit of water had to be under there to do that. Anyone else have this happened to them?


I am going to the dealer for the 4th time for the blinking CEL so I will add this to the list.

could it be the melting snow(if there's snow in ur area) and salt? someone's maybe have stepped on snow and stepped onto ur matt and it melted with the salt and when it drys up it's becomes hard...

Your passenger pee'd on your carpet.

Oh yea, might be a good idea to get all season floor mats, have them on mine and they're great. Don't have to worry about wear and tear on the stock carpets.

Hey, it rains, occassionally... I don't like having the worn carpet look on the drivers side carpet.. ;) I might get another set of stock carpets for the hell of it though so I can take out the all season ones for use in the rain.

Yeah I noticed that too about the carpets. I have the winter mats in mine but a 2nd set of mats would be nice because the maps will wear out pretty fast in my opinion.

lol. Thanks for the info..but what's the dealer going to do..blowdry it? Or are you concerned about a leak?

I used to have that problem after I brought a lot of snow in from outside on my boots. Went in the car snow melted and froze up again overnight.

I think I just saw a cloud in the sky when I looked outside! Winter! Ahh!

I bought a second set of mats in my last car so I had one for daily grind and another if I wanted it to look nice.

Well when I first got my 8 my girlfriend said she felt water drip on her foot. I blew it of thinking she was just picking the car apart. After that I went to a auto wash and went to vaccum the car and it was drenched on the passenger side :( . Now I think there is a huge leak because we have not had snow nor rain in a while and it sat at my parents house for 2 days until I found it. So i am pretty sure it has a leak.
