mats falling apart at only 6 months

2i30s · **October 25, 2009, 10:09:26**

my i30 embossed mats are allready falling apart.the drivers mat has a plastic heel pad in it that's coming un stitched.they look new still because i vacuum my car every 2 to 3 weeks.the mats i got thrown in by the dealer and are about $100 odd to replace. not impressed at all.

anyone got the same problem

Yeah I bought mine for 60 bucks or so via ebay and that happened to mine too (I thought maybe they were 2nds that's why I got them cheap) I stuck the plastic heal pad on better with contact adhesive (it's fine now)

i might give that a go dazz.i thought they might last longer than they have being an original Hyundai mat.

Take 'em back and complain!

wow 6 months isn't good! shouldn't they last years besides fair wear and usage?
i'd complain myself.

Yep I would be returning them!! Isn't the warranty on those 12 months?

My 18 month old, genuine i30 mats are still in great shape.
You must have a bad lot..........should be a warranty issue.

I'm thinking of taking them back,your all right you should get more than 6 months out of them.i feel that if i rock the boat about something i got for free from the dealer if i need a warranty claim down the track i may get messed around

2 years and look as good as new.

Mine , are 9 months old & have been falling apart for the last 2 months

Have thought about taking them back, but haven't gotten around to it.

Steve did you end up taking them back?? My plastic heel pad has completely come off...

yes, i took back the mat and it was swapped for a new one and an apology.

That was a good result (I bought mine on ebay so not quite so easy.. anyway I glued mine good as new now!)

I thought retail was about $110 (think I only paid about $65 through ebay?)

i guesstimated the price as i got mine and the wife's , free. :mrgreen:I'm not far off though.

sweetbix · **Reply #21: December 27, 2009, 06:06:29**

Great, i'll take them back then! I got mine for free too...

Don't except a refund then (it won't amount to much)
