Floor carpet tear

[JoOLS]

I have noticed a tear on the carpet along the folds on the foot rest. This is after one month and 1100 miles of driving.
The carpet has started pulling away from the plastic foot rest platform revealing body below.
I think it should qualify as a material defect and I am thinking of ringing the dealer.
What do you think?

Our MG5 is already looking a little frazzled here too so, I've made a little sleeve out of damp proof course and velcro'd in. Does the job..

You can’t beat a bit of DPC !.
Nice “Chris Cross” pattern as well !.

Saw this guy walking away from an MG showroom today, a disappointing test drive.

Hi Leo copy of your post #10 28/07/21, not sure if I’ve missed something I was just wondering how you got on with the carpet problem any news for us

Booked in with the dealer next week. Will keep you posted.

My suspicion is that the position of center console means my feet inadvertently slip to edge of foot rest. Maybe there was a material defect and it accelerated when the soles brushed against the area.

Pictures of the tear were sent to MG. Waiting to hear back from the dealer.
I think the tear can be repaired but it is likely to suffer the same fate in a few weeks/months.
I am thinking of buying a floor liner and gluing a patch to replace torn part if the response from MG is a NO.

Leo a NO is not Acceptable in my opinion on a new car less than 2 months old a with 1100 miles no chance stand your ground and insist it’s repaired even modified to prevent it happening again its Ridiculous

Full floor carpet replaced under warranty yesterday. Very happy, was a fuss free process.
