I'd just like to say a big THANKS to Wayne and all the contributers on this thread. I read it avidly both before and after I got my Superb and the information in here has been invaluable.

 

As it happens, my Superb used to look exactly lke Audrey, but thankfully Wayne has now changed all his badges so we won't get confused if we ever park near each other (well, that and the private plate, winter wheels and the fact that Wayne's is SO CLEAN).

 

Might wait for the Spring and perhaps see if Chris Rs can make mine nearly as nice as Wayne's.

 

Keep up the great work.

And special thanks to ChrisR for his extra work on Audrey too!!!

 

Cheers

PS love your profile " - just like Audrey" :-)

Though looking back a whole year to Wayne trying to work out how Audrey s carpet fixing studs work ....I am STILL scratching my head!

 

I have 2 under-carpet studs in the driver and front passenger foot well.

One still has an above-carpet stud which original Skoda mats just pop onto.

The other three seem to have the above-carpet studs missing ...

 

I have bought a set of these above-carpet studs.

Thy just wouldn't snap-pop onto those under-carpet studs! :-(

 

Will give them another try this weekend - else Audrey is going into DMKeith on Monday anyway (cambelt / MOT / major service),

will enquire there then (again)...

 

Looking at removing rear door sills to access rear passenger carpets to install these under+above fixing studs if can too ....

TBH Wayne the rear studs are not needed as due to their shape the rear mats have nowhere to move, ~ I assume this is why car that had mats fitted from the factory do not have the locating studs for the rear?

U might 'just' be able to see my HUMPed carpet mat at the top end...

Kids!

Anyway.

Stud holes in the rear mat (so read for carpet studs :-)...

Above carpet studs:

Front carpet: one with above carpet stud, one without (broken?):

Logically, it looks like they snap on - but neigh impossible!

So either i am a whimp!

Or that under carpet stud is broken...

Updated: 6th Jan

Skoda says whack it with a mallet :-)

Works!

Parts (above / below carpet):

Wayne the bottom stud looks broken inside like it is not properly recessed ?

I have asked at Skoda , and they said the same.

Though they never seen it and didnt even know what a carpet fixing stud is at one point!

I ll get Skoda to have a proper look on Mon.

Though i wonder if u can buy the part under the carpet?

I am popping out later could meet you at yours to have a look ?

 you just reminded of me of the song "Stacy's Mom" by  Fountains of Wayne

Wayne, I used these for my mats: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-ROUND-SCREW-CAR-MAT-FIXING-CLIP-LOCATING-X2-/360478904796?ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:GB:3160

Just used the tip of a knife to make a starter hole in the carpet, and then they screw straight in.
