So i drive this thing mainly on highway and it has the carpet all warn out already.. has this happened to anyone else?

i noticed it today when i vacuumed the inside of the car.

i driven the car for a little over 8k miles so far, got it around November of 2009. I mainly drive with flipflops on or sperry and birkenstock shoes on.. its not like iam using GOLF shoes to drive this car.... a few times i have driven the car using Formal shoes.

heres some pics:

 

Well, It's obvious that whatever you wear on your feet, you rest to edge of your foot on the carpet. Doesn't change the fact that the stock carpeting is a cheap piece of you-know-what.

 

I got my car with 13k on the clock, and the previous owner did a number on the section above and to the side of the dead pedal. Looks like that, but worse. Not sure what I'm going to do about it, but I haven't had a car where this was a problem. Weight savings must have played such a huge role in the design of this car, that the carpets are paper thin.

 

i took my fit to the dealer when it got a hole in the carpet, they will agrue with you a little. then they will take a few pics, they send it to honda and honda will tell them they can or cant fix it. but i got mine fixed although the hole on mine was closer to the driver seat then the gas pedal and im not sure how a hole got there because my feet never touch that spot.

 

ok thanks guys, at least i knew it didn't come this way. cuz after vacuuming it.. i just noticed it.


so you got the honda dealership to repair that? thats prety awsome.. but iam sure it will just keep happening again.. i think i will just leave it.

 

I wonder if there is a carpet repair kit out there that would hold up. Maybe a good idea is to repair it, and then cover the susceptible parts with clear plastic.

Here is one of the kits: Carpet Repair Kit - Repair Burns, Damage on Your Auto, Home, Office Carpet

 

WTH? How come u have 3 pedals instead of 2??? Did Honda forgot to put the far left one on mine??? lol j/k I had the same experience with my old GS-R and I glued over with some thin rubber/plastic that looks like what we have under the carpet floor mat And it worked pretty well. I hope I still have some pics of it...

 

actually since they replaced it, it hasnt toren again.

 

you crack me up that reminds me of the time when i was on this mustang forum and someone looked at my car like "whats that infront of your radiator?" and then another member immediately replies "thats an intercooler"

yeah.. i think iam going to leave the carpet how it is.. i never saw this problem before... untill i owned this fit, i wish the made carpet mats that would cover it.


ummm that makes me want to take mine back..

Have you tried clipping your toenails?


Just Kiddin you,

wow if that happens again I'd glue a piece of black rubber/plastic there.

Do you have webbed feet or waddle like a duck?

 

its my gas pedal foot.. i must have wide feet.

 

Hand controls!

 

you should it might be a different carpet idk????

 

From reading this forum, I knew before I purchased that the carpet in The Fit was crap. Since "carpet quality" isn't something I focus on most of the time with my vehicle I didn't care. BUT I must say, Honda did really go cheap on the carpet. I think most of the things in reach and view in The Fit have above average fit and finish...but Honda should pay ME for having that carpet in my car.
