MG4 Mats Availability

Executive carpet mats. Unfortunately the clips don’t line up. I have emailed carmats.co.uk

Awesome! We shipped nearly all the pre-orders today

We've found so far that MG don't always put the clips in the footwell in exactly the same spot.

There is some movement in clips in our mats as the clip is smaller than the hole so can be adjusted.

If the clips are a long way out, then the clips in the footwell can be unscrewed and screwed back into the right place.

Look forward to the feedback

Just in case it helps. At first I thought the orientation of the clips in the MG4 was out by 90 degrees compared to the Carmats mats. But putting a pair of longnose pliers into the mat hole they do rotate fairly easily. The drivers mat is very snug on the cill side but I'm very happy with the standard mats at £23 with postage, you almost don't notice them = good.

Pictures as requested. First 3 measured from the left to 1st hole, second hole and full size

Now hole to hole


Now clip to back of carpet where they are slightly misaligned

Just realised you were after pics of the rubber ones which someone has posted. Might be useful for someone to see anyway

Yeah good to see all examples as in time I'll likely get some properly fitting carpet mats too. Cheers

Overfilled gearboxes, misaligned undertray bolts, poorly finished off door welds and now badly aligned carpet fixings - have all MG4s been thrown together on a Friday afternoon?

It sounds bad, but remember you are on a forum of early adopters and hearing all the teething troubles. These have all turned out to be minor issues so far. The door welds might be just be a one off.

It is a similar story with most new car launches.

I think we are actually doing pretty well except for the terrible communication issues.

Has anybody managed to unscrew the clips? Mine just turn indefinitely they don’t seem to lift so I’m not sure I’ll be able to get them unscrewed without lifting the carpet which would be awkward.

I’m inclined to say it’s the mats that are misaligned not the car based on my photos.

Andy how do yours compare to the photos I posted earlier?

That's a fair comment - if all the mats have the same dimensions then the problem has to be with the clip positions in the car.

Try putting a flat blade (kitchen knife, wide flat bladed screwdriver) between the carpet and the flange of the clip and twisting slightly to lift the assembly a little way from the carpet while unscrewing the clip.
The theory is if the clips look like the ones in post #111 the threaded section finishes just below the head so it can spin without coming undone and by putting the flat blade between the two it re-engages the thread allowing it to unscrew.

It's a 'fault' with MG not putting them in exactly the same place every time! You can unscrew the carpet clips and reposition them to fit the mats.

Seems the same problem as the undertray, quite a few variables with the car

 

[the briggie]

Andy, pretty much the same dimensions to be honest. I don't have the car to try them in so . I will sit back and watch if others have the same drivers mat dimensions and if possible they move the floor clips appropriately. I assume all other mats fit just fine, just the drivers one doesn't align?

Yes the mats fit great and are good quality. It’s just the clip locations. I’m happy to move the clips on the car if it’s straightforward but they just spin and I don’t want to force them.

 

[the briggie]

Andy, is it the top part of the floor clips that is just rotating or the bottom part. The bottom part needs a flat headed screwdriver under it to apply pressure under it whilst you unscrew it (not shown in the video, based on experience) See this video which shows a whole clip from VW. I have to assume ours are the same? See repair and replace gti floor mat clips

Update: the clips on the car aren’t movable.

They have a sort of “popper” design and won’t go back in once removed. Looks I’m going to need to get some replacement screw in clips now to align with the mats. The mat alignment is at fault imo but if the clips won’t pop back in I’ll need to get new clips either way something is going to need to be replaced.
