Car Mats/carpets And Seatcovers

[mike99]

I'm looking at buying a set of mats and seatcovers for my 99 galaxy.

Has anyone purchased some from ebay? theres a company selling mat sets at

Hi Mike99,

 

I think I got a set of floor mats from them in dark blue a little while ago. The main down side is that only the drivers side mat has a quick release screw to anchor them to prevent the mat moving. All mats have a rough rubberised backing which does help them from slipping, but have found the ones in the back do creep slightly. The middle one fits reasonably well around the floor air vent, therefore doesn't move significantly. But the very back one for seats 6 & 7 is a bit on the small side, it could do with being deeper. It's also the one that moves around the most as its just rectangular in shape - would be better if extended under the middle seats. It's probably not helped by my 2 & half year old who likes to climb about in the car when ever he gets the chance.....

For me they do what I want & help protect the original carpet.

Bottom line is they are good for the price & much cheaper than Ford's!!!

Ok JDF, thanks for the reply, I think I'll get a set.

[delboyt]

oops

 

sorry for the caps again lol

I bought an ex-dealer stock carpet mat set from ebay for just over

[Rallim]

The middle and rear mats cover the whole load area

 

That sounds good, my rear seat mats are only a strip in front of the seats. For the load area I have a generic plastic boot protecter which I've cut slots out of for the rear seats to locate through.

if you buy the single rear carpet

that covers the whole reaer from fords it

will cost you

[mike99]

guess I'll be keeping an eye on ebay for some genuine ones then.

Has anyone bought any mats off Ebay that they are happy with?

 

If so can you remember who the seller was?

not worth bothering with mats on ebay

atleast the ones i got off

there supposed to be top quality but were

cheap quality.(you get what you pay for remember)

better to to to fords vw or seat dealer

they last as long as you keep the car.

the last set of fords mats i had was 5 yrs old & looked

like they were only just fitted as they keep their shape & pile.

 

there is a company on ebay that's selling 7 made to measure seat covers for

Hi guys

 

Took my Gal in for some paint repairs last week, when i went to pick her up, there was also a Mk2 in the workshop. I stood chatting to the guy who owns the place, who told me that the Mk2 belonged to T C Harrison and that it was going to auction in a few days time. He said he had noticed the mats in my Gal (just 4 normal car mats, 2 in the front and 2 in the middle row).

He said he would take the proper mats out of the Mk2 and put them to one side for me, went and collected them yesterday, fit a treat. Even threw in the securing screws. Full set of quality galaxy mats for chuff all :D

Nothin like a freebie!!...lol.
