    Dapat pala check natin pedals for this low design.
    Sir, mahahaba at both sides and velcro na inilagay ko kaya walang galaw and it won't get skewed. Yun nga lang pag maglilinis ka ng floor mat na kailangan tanggalin medyo dahan-dahan ang hila sa haba ng kapit sa carpet. Anyway lahat ng mats ko up to 2nd row and 3rd row naka velcro lahat kaya kahit magrambulan mga pasahero ko di nagugulo ang mats.

    Mali nga yung patong-patong na mat sa driver side, may chance talaga na mag slide ito towards the front.

    Safe driving to all tsikoteers.

    ... and if youre gonna be wearing flip flops, sandals, or any other loose footwear, do what my friend does - she drives barefoot para walang sumasabit sa pedals or loose floor mats.
    I just did this earlier. I removed my crocs and drove barefooted. It was weird but this little voice keep saying in my head...."safe...safe...safe...."

    Correct, they could have just turned the engine off.

    It didn't even crossed their minds just once?

    and they're blaming toyota for this? C'mon.

    Knowing Americans, a lawsuit is surely on its way.

    All because of a lousy floormat.
