Sounds like you might want to look into asking a dealer about premature wear issues, might be replaced by your warrenty, they'd do it if it was a seat wouldn't they, why not a floor mat?

The day I brought my new car home, I took out the driver's side floormat and put it away for safe keeping. I'd rather wear out a cheapie one from Autozone.

That happened in my 2003 Cavalier. I had a HOLE after about 3 weeks. The dealer replaced them under warranty, as stated above, for premature wear. I'd go bitch at them, nicely, and they'll probably replace them.

That said, my Cobalt hasn't worn hardly at all, weird.

That is where your heel always sits and always rubs.

Mine does it too. They are just floor mats, so i dont really care. Either your gonna have to put another rubber set in, or another stock one. I got my deep rubber ones for the winter. I can always make them all year round mats.

My sister's 05 cavy has the same problem. I thought it was because she drives too much, but apparently it's a common problem. No wear in my Cobalt, but I don't rack up the miles.

That wouldn't work because floormats are under the the "wear item" parts, and wouldnt be covered. Stop being cheap and just get new ones...

Yeah mine looked like that 2 days after I bought the car. I'm just going to replace them when they get a hole in them, they're actually pretty cheap at the dealer last time I asked.

The Dealer has a nice set of rubber honeycomb type custom fit for our cars, only around $40. Just a warning, the chevy symbol is gold. But they fit nice, and catch all the sand and water, and can just be dumped out and hosed off.

Yeah, well the local car wash put two of my mats in another car. To cover they bought me a whole new set. Luckily it was the pasenger side. So I have a nice replacement one in my trunk to put in at meets and shows.

How do you wear a hole in the mat under the clutch pedal?

My foot is on the dead pedal until I shift and even then I don't pivot my foot on the floormat.

so is the clutch but they will replace that during the first 12 mo, for reasons of a possibility of a manufacturers defect, at least thats what Ford told me when I looked at a Mustang GT.

I have had my car for over a year and am about to hit 12,000 miles. My floor mats look brand new, well they would if I ever wash them. haha
