    I just received my promised carpet floor mats for my new Prius from the dealership where I purchased the car, but there seems to be a fitment problem. The little holes for the driver side are off by about an inch or so. Please see below. This seems a bit puzzling. Are these defective mats or are they for GenII Prius? Also, shouldn't the set also include a cargo mat? :mad:

    Mine fit just fine. I don't think you should drive with these. Call or go back to your dealer.

    I think the cargo mat is a separate thing.

    The Canadian models come with carpet mats that look pretty much like the ones you have.

    The driver's mat has holes that are offset by a by just over an inch from the grometts (holes) in the base carpet. There are little plastic clips that snap into the grometts, run flat across the base carpet and then have a hook that sticks up through the mat to stop it sliding forward.

    I took out the left hand clip because it was right where I sometimes want to park my left foot on a longer drive. The right one thus far seems to be enough to stop the carpet moving but I'll keep an eye on it.

    It sounds as though your mats are like mine but you are missing the plastic clips.

    I did get the plastic clips that snap into the holes in the base carpet. But I'm just not sure why they would not line up. Also, do these look like Misty Gray color to you? That's what the package says, (although it was an open plastic wrap). To me they look dark gray which would be a different part number. :confused:

    They're not supposed to line up because the hook of the plastic clips protrudes out upward. The holes in the mats line up perfectly with the hooks.

    Misty Gray interior doesn't come with Misty Gray mats, but dark gray mats the same color as the door panel inserts and center console. Blsque interior comes with black mats and Dark Gray interior comes with matching dark gray mats. You got the correct color.

    Thanks everyone. I stand corrected. I should have looked at the hooks before posting. :D It's all good.
