Installation Of Floor Mats...???

Hi again, well I got new "FIT" floor (carpet) mats for my B-Day! My
F-in-law tried to install them. Wow, are they ever tricky eh? He was able to get the front 2 in and the rear left hand side one...you just throw in...doing nothing with that one....but what about the rear right hand side one?
How the heck do we secure that one...do we have to use that template thingy?

Thanks for the help!

i just didnt install the hooks on mine. a little of some velcro underneath will also do the trick and it is easier.

I installed mine last week end and could not figure out the necessity of tying down the RR one... so I did not.
But using the template for the carpet cutting is the only way to allign properly the hook with the hole in the carpet.

Ahhh Yes, I love a simple solultion. My hooks do not hold my drivers floor mat and I couldn't figure out how to make the hooks stay.

Going to Home Depot for industrial velcor, and that will make that mat stay where I put it!

Thanks for the solution.

You did cut the insulation and uncovered the holes into the metal floor, have you?
Now, in order to stabilize the hooks for the front mats in place, you have to push in the square cap into/over the insertions so they will remain spreaded apart and won't come off. This is the Honda way. Of course any customized solution will be as good as the result

I put in the rubber mats from honda
I installed the clips in the front but not in the back (they have not moved)
try it without the clips if not you have to use the paper template provided

The templates are fine and work perfectly, or at least did for me.

The rear hooks are to keep the mat from going under the seat, supposedly near some of the sensors/equipment for the air bags lives there.

Where to get template

I can't find the template for installing them. Where did you find it? No I didn't get it with my mats for some reason.
