Fitting and care

Fitting a Sungrabba dash mat

Each mat comes with 4 hook Velcro sheets. Pick a warm day if you can – the adhesive grips best on a warm, dry dash.

1. Clean the dashWipe the dash top with a damp cloth to remove dust and protectant, then let it dry fully.
2. Dry fit the matLay the mat on the dash and line up the cut-outs with the vents, speakers and sensors.
3. Place the VelcroLift the front edge and stick the Velcro sheets to the dash where the mat will cover them, near the corners and centre.
4. Press it downLower the mat and press it firmly over each Velcro sheet so the hooks grab.

The mat can be lifted off for cleaning and pressed back down any time.

Caring for your dash mat

• Vacuum it or brush it down while it's on the dash.
• For marks, lift it off and sponge it with mild soapy water, then let it dry in the shade.
• Avoid silicone dash sprays under the mat – they stop the Velcro holding.

Fitting Sandgrabba floor mats

1. Remove the old matsTake out any factory or aftermarket mats so the new ones sit flat on the carpet.
2. Position each matLay each mat in its footwell and push it forward so the raised edges sit up against the sill and firewall.
3. Fit the sill fasteningFit the door-sill fastening so the driver's mat can't slide under the pedals.
4. Check the pedalsPress each pedal all the way down to make sure nothing catches.

Cleaning Sandgrabba floor mats

Lift them out, shake out the sand, hose them off and let them drip dry before you put them back. For greasy marks, a soft brush and dishwashing liquid does the job. There's no need for tyre shine or protectants – they make the mats slippery.

Fitting QMCC moulded flooring

Moulded flooring replaces the whole floor covering, so it's a bigger job than a set of mats. Allow a few hours. The same steps apply to carpet and vinyl, and to front and rear pieces. If you haven't done it before, a motor trimmer can fit it for you.

Tools you'll need

• Trim removal tool
• Socket and ratchet set
• Phillips and flat-blade screwdrivers
• Kitchen scissors or a sharp utility knife
• White chalk or a fabric marker
• Vacuum cleaner
• Contact adhesive, for the underfelt
• Safety gloves

Moulded flooring: preparation

1. Unpack it straight awayCheck every piece is there, then lay the carpet or vinyl flat in a clean, dry spot so the moulded contours relax back into shape. On a cold day, somewhere warm helps.
2. Strip the cabinRemove the seats, centre console, sill plates, kick panels and seatbelt bolts. Keep the bolts in order.
3. Lift the old floor and keep itUse it as a rough guide only. Don't cut the new floor to match it.
4. Clean the floor panVacuum the pan and note where the original underfelt sat.

Moulded flooring: installation

1. Glue in the underfeltUse contact adhesive where the underfelt needs to stay put.
2. Fit the rear section firstThen fit the front, so the front laps over the rear. The join faces backwards and won't catch your feet getting in.
3. Push it into every contourWork it down into the footwells, over the tunnel and up the seat risers.
4. Take out wrinklesMove the carpet forward to pull wrinkles out. Keep the overlap between sections to 10 mm or less.
5. Mark the holesMark seat bolt, seatbelt and console holes with chalk before you cut.
6. Cut small, then go biggerOnly cut once you're happy with the fit. You can make a hole bigger, but you can't make it smaller.
7. Trim the edges lastFinish around the pedals and door openings.

Moulded flooring: reassembly and checks

1. Refit everythingPut back the trims, seats and console.
2. Check the controlsMake sure the seatbelts, pedals, gear lever and handbrake all move freely and nothing catches on the floor.
3. Tighten the boltsCheck every bolt is done up properly, especially the seat and seatbelt bolts.
