Trying to figure out why my clutch pedal is catching on my drivers mat. I have tried two different mats and also tightened the top mat clip as much as a can.

Is it possible the pedal could have dropped slightly? Looking at the carpet it is rubbing at the top of the carpet as well.

just move the mat down a bit thats what I had to do

I have tried that but even with it back as far as it will go it still catches by a couple of mm. I have owned the car almost 6 years and have never had any trouble with the pedal catching the mat before

Is this carpet sitting hard against the floorpan? Or has it moved, leaving a gap. Mine fitted much better with regards to the pedals and fouling after I removed it to dye it, and then re-fitted it.

Are you sure it's catching the mat & not simply sticking down on it's own accord? Common fault on the mk1 Octy.

When i first brought mine it was always sticking down, realized i was riding the clutch by resting my foot on it, started using the foot rest and no more problem lol.

It could be the sticking clutch master cylinder problem of old as mentioned by busteredwards above. See the thread below.
