Toyota Fixing Mat Issue With Zip Ties & A Request for Common Sense

Toyota has come up with a fix for their floor mat woes - a 6-inch zip tie and a warning to use common sense.

Toyota spokesman Brian Lyons told Automotive News: "We have reviewed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration what we're calling a semipermanent floor mat installation process, and we're providing these instructions to our dealers."

Dealers also are to attach a label to the wire tie warning dealers and customers to ensure that the mat is secured with restraining straps and not to stack one mat over another.

So now you have the decision of whether you should waste an hour at a dealership to do this, or spend about $0.08 and do it yourself at home. Or just install them properly in the first place, you know, using those nifty hooks designed to hold them in place.
