Floor mat lugs

[AndyVX]

I removed the floor mats to clean them and for the life of me I can’t get the black plastic lugs to lock back into place to hold them down.
I’ve tried screwing them down and pushing them into place.
Any advice?

They can be a bit fiddly. They are the same fitting as the Evora. You have to line up the hole in the mat with the fitting, I usually push my finger through the hole to line everything up then press the lug down and I use a 50p piece to tighten it up. If it is not lined up properly, it won't tighten.
It is one of those things that you need to discover 'the knack' !
When I got my Emira and realised it was still the same fitting as the Evora again, I thought " Oh no, not those things again!" There is massive progress with the interior compared to the Evora, but the progress excludes the floor mats!

Looks like I need to import some coins while waiting for the car...

Do these hold/attach better or are they just a different look?

Mine engaged and held well, the oem plastic ones wouldn’t stay in place

I'd get them but wish they were black.

I had a problem with my drivers side . I was out driving and one of the lugs managed to work it’s way loose and rolled in the way of the pedals . The dealer replaced all 4 in the end (passenger side as well ) since they were all badly marked and badly fitting from new .

Piggy backing on this mat related thread. Has Lotus made any official all weather mats for Emira or have made for Evora in past (so indicate they might for Emira)?
I dont expect to drive mine in bad weather but like to put them in cars if they look good.

The floor mat always catches my heel when using clutch. Have velcroed the end down.

They really need floor mats that go all the way up behind the pedals and up the front incline in front of the passenger.

Definitely hoping they make all-season weather mats especially ones that go behind the pedal like weather tech.

Has anyone found a way to fit the OEM plastic push pins into the hole? I saw another person, I believe on facebook, was also not able to fully press the floor mats into the plastic clips.

Is everyone just driving around without fully locked in floor mats?

Coming from an Exige which was fiddly, I thought "these cant be worse" .... how wrong I was! A simple push stud like other makes would be clearly too simple

My drivers one broke a few weeks ago. It came adrift whilst driving and the threaded section on the floor has broken. I’m waiting again (Oakmere in Cheshire) to get back to me on a date for them to fix it…..which reminds me I’ll chase them yet again
